Umā’s Inquiry and the Manifestation of the Third Eye (उमा–प्रश्नः तृतीयनेत्रोत्पत्तिः)
अरजांसि च वस्त्राणि धारयन्ती गतक्लमा । विमानस्था शुभा भासि सहस्रगुणमोजसा
arajāṁsi ca vastrāṇi dhārayantī gataklamā | vimānasthā śubhā bhāsi sahasraguṇamojasā ||
Bhishma sprach: „In makellosen Gewändern, frei von Ermattung, sitzt du auf einem himmlischen Wagen. Deine Gestalt ist glückverheißend, und durch dein eigenes geistiges Leuchten strahlst du in tausendfach vermehrter Pracht.“
