The Greatness of Hari’s Janmāṣṭamī (Jayantī) Vow
स धृत्वा तां महाराजः सभयोऽभूद्दुरासदः । शुद्धकांचनवर्णाभां पूर्णेंदुसदृशाननाम्
sa dhṛtvā tāṃ mahārājaḥ sabhayo'bhūddurāsadaḥ | śuddhakāṃcanavarṇābhāṃ pūrṇeṃdusadṛśānanām
সেই কন্যাকে ধারণ করে মহারাজ কংস ভীত ও দুর্ধর্ষ হয়ে উঠলেন। সেই কন্যা ছিলেন বিশুদ্ধ স্বর্ণের ন্যায় কান্তিযুক্তা এবং পূর্ণচন্দ্রের ন্যায় আননবিশিষ্টা।
