Devanagari script

प्रभासं क्षेत्रमासाद्य संस्थिता कृतपर्वते । एवं कृतस्मरस्तत्र सर्वदेवनिषेवितः । मन्वंतरेस्मिन्यो देवि निर्दग्धो वडवाग्निना

Transliteration

prabhāsaṃ kṣetramāsādya saṃsthitā kṛtaparvate | evaṃ kṛtasmarastatra sarvadevaniṣevitaḥ | manvaṃtaresminyo devi nirdagdho vaḍavāgninā

Translation

Parvenu au kṣetra sacré de Prabhāsa, il prit demeure sur la sainte montagne Kṛtapārva­ta. Là, vénéré et servi par tous les dieux, il fut « rétabli dans la conscience » ; et dans ce même Manvantara, ô Déesse, il avait été brûlé par le Vaḍavāgni, le feu sous-marin au visage de jument.
