तत्र कुब्जाम्रके वृत्तं पुराश्चर्यं महाद्भुतम् ॥ मम निर्माल्यपार्श्वे वै व्याली तिष्ठति निर्भया ॥
tatra kubjāmrake vṛttaṃ purāścaryaṃ mahādbhutam || mama nirmālya-pārśve vai vyālī tiṣṭhati nirbhayā ||
कुब्जाम्रक में एक पुरानी अजब बात हुई थी। मेरे मंदिर के पूजे हुए फूल के पास एक नागिन थी, बिना डरे खड़ी थी।
