प्रतापमुकुटो राजा मल्लस्यास्य जयाय सः । बलिनं द्विजपुत्रं तमाह्वयामास भृत्यकैः
pratāpamukuṭo rājā mallasyāsya jayāya saḥ | balinaṃ dvijaputraṃ tamāhvayāmāsa bhṛtyakaiḥ
Le roi Pratāpamukuṭa, désirant vaincre ce malla, fit appeler par ses serviteurs ce robuste fils de brāhmane.

No specific tīrtha is glorified in this verse; it continues the Setukhaṇḍa storyline.
None.
