Shloka 5
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 ||
Dijo Bhishma: «Vistes ropas inmaculadas y, libre de fatiga, estás sentada en un carro celestial. Tu figura es auspiciosa y, por tu propia radiancia espiritual, resplandeces con un esplendor multiplicado por mil.»
