कदाचिद्राजपुत्रेण विनासौ द्विजनंदनः । स्नातुं गतो नदीतीरे चचार बहुलीलया
kadācidrājaputreṇa vināsau dvijanaṃdanaḥ | snātuṃ gato nadītīre cacāra bahulīlayā
એક વખત રાજપુત્ર વિના તે બ્રાહ્મણપુત્ર સ્નાન કરવા નદીકાંઠે ગયો અને ત્યાં બહુ રમૂજી રીતે ફરવા લાગ્યો.
Narrator (Purāṇic narration)
Type: ghat
Scene: A young brāhmaṇa boy alone at a riverbank, playful and carefree, moving along the shore with water shimmering; the scene foreshadows discovery.
Purāṇic narratives often show how ordinary acts like river-bathing become gateways to providential events.
A riverbank is mentioned but not named; the tīrtha identity is not specified in this verse.
Snāna (bathing) at the riverbank is described, though not framed here as a formal vow.
