Śuka’s Ocean Voyage: Adverse Winds, Arrival at a Viṣṇu Shrine, and Aid from the Jaṭāyu Birds
नमो नारायणायोक्त्वा निषसाद वरासने ॥ निमेषान्तरमात्रेण वयोरूपसमन्विताः ॥ असंख्याताः समायाता यथा देवी तथैव ताः
namo nārāyaṇāyoktvā niṣasāda varāsane || nimeṣāntaramātreṇa vayorūpasamanvitāḥ || asaṅkhyātāḥ samāyātā yathā devī tathaiva tāḥ
देवी ने कहा, नारायण को नमस्ते। फिर वो अच्छी सीट पर बैठ गई। आँख झपकने के बराबर टाइम में, अनकाउंटेड लोग आगए। सब देवी जैसा ही दिखते थे।
