Chapter 82
ततो गच्छेत राजेन्द्र प्रभासं तीर्थमुत्तमम् । तत्र संनिहितों नित्यं स््वयमेव हुताशन:
tato gacchet rājendra prabhāsaṃ tīrtham uttamam | tatra sannihito nityaṃ svayam eva hutāśanaḥ ||
Entonces, oh el mejor de los reyes, debes dirigirte a Prabhāsa, el más excelente vado sagrado. Allí el dios del Fuego, Agni, está siempre presente en persona—morando allí sin cesar—para que el buscador se acerque a ese lugar santo con reverencia y conducta disciplinada.
