तावत्ताम्रस्थितो भूत्वा मम संस्थो भविष्यसि ॥ ततः प्रभृति ताम्रात्मा गुडाकेशो व्यवस्थितः ॥
tāvattāmrasthito bhūtvā mama saṃstho bhaviṣyasi || tataḥ prabhṛti tāmrātmā guḍākeśo vyavasthitaḥ ||
मैंने कहा, इतने वक़्त तक तुम तांबे के साथ रहोगे और मेरे काम में लगे रहोगे। उस दिन से गुडाकेश का नाम तांबे वाला हो गया और वो वैसे ही चला आया।
