āsthitānāṁ nadīṁ divyāṁ vālakhilyai niṣevitām
Translation
Vāsudeva évoqua un fleuve céleste—un cours d’eau vers lequel s’avancent ceux qui demeurent fermes, et que fréquentent les sages Vālakhilya—faisant naître l’image d’un lieu sanctifié, porté par la constance des ascètes et rendu sacré par l’assidue présence des rishis.
