Vaṃśānuvārṇana and the Transition to the Fourth (Upasaṃhāra) Pada

Devanagari script

मासस्याहानि त्रिंशत्तु यानि वै कवयो विदुः / निर्वाणरतयो देवा रात्रयस्तु विहङ्गमाः

Transliteration

māsasyāhāni triṃśattu yāni vai kavayo viduḥ / nirvāṇaratayo devā rātrayastu vihaṅgamāḥ

Translation

Les trente jours du mois, comme le savent les poètes, sont les dieux qui se délectent du nirvāṇa; et les nuits sont dites vihaṅgama, mobiles comme des oiseaux.
