Vaitaraṇī-tīrtha and the Devayāna Path
Kaliṅga Episode
ततः कल्याणरूपाभिववग्भिस्ते रुद्रमस्तुवन् । इष्ट्या चैनं तर्पयित्वा मानयांचक्रिरे तदा,यों कहकर उन्होंने कल्याणमय वचनोंद्वारा भगवान् रुद्रका स्तवन किया और इष्टिद्वारा उन्हें तृप्त करके उस समय उनका विशेष सम्मान किया
tataḥ kalyāṇarūpābhir vāgbhis te rudram astuvan | iṣṭyā cainaṃ tarpayitvā mānayāṃ cakrire tadā ||
ثم إنهم، بكلماتٍ مباركةٍ لطيفة، سبّحوا رُدرا. وبعد أن أرضَوه بقربانٍ مُحكَمٍ على سننِ الطقس، أكرموه في ذلك الحين إكرامًا خاصًّا.
