महापद्माटव्यार्घ्यस्थापनकथनम्
Establishing the Arghya in the Mahāpadmāṭavī
पिहिता ललिता देव्या मूतर्लोहितसिन्धुवत् / तरुणार्कसहस्राभा चन्द्रवच्छीतला ह्यपि / मुहुः प्रवाहरूपेण प्रसरन्ती महामुने
pihitā lalitā devyā mūtarlohitasindhuvat / taruṇārkasahasrābhā candravacchītalā hyapi / muhuḥ pravāharūpeṇa prasarantī mahāmune
O great muni, it was veiled by the Goddess Lalitā, like a river red as molten copper. It shone like a thousand young suns, yet was cool as the moon; and again and again it spread forth in the form of a flowing stream.
