पुरा शक्रेण मे दत्तं युध्यतो दानवर्षभै: । किरीटं मुर्श्नि सूर्याभं तेनाहुर्मा किरीटिनम्,पूर्वकालमें बड़े-बड़े दानव वीरोंके साथ युद्ध करते समय देवराज इन्द्रने मेरे मस्तकपर सूर्यके समान प्रकाशित होनेवाला किरीट रख दिया था; इसीलिये मुझे “किरीटी” कहते हैं
Translation
Einst, als ich gegen die großen Helden der Dānavas kämpfte, schenkte mir Śakra (Indra) eine Krone und setzte sie mir aufs Haupt, strahlend wie die Sonne. Darum nennt man mich „Kirīṭin“ — den Bekrönten.
