एकपादो गिरि तटे प्रहर्षात्प्रथमं स्थितः । वसतौ वसता तेन गिरौ च गिरिदारुणः
ekapādo giri taṭe praharṣātprathamaṃ sthitaḥ | vasatau vasatā tena girau ca giridāruṇaḥ
Ekapāda, dans l’allégresse, fut le premier à se tenir sur le flanc de la montagne ; et par sa demeure en ce lieu, cette montagne elle-même devint redoutable, puissante de sainteté et de force sacrée.
