The Glory of Gokarṇa: Description of Nandikeśvara’s Boon and the Assembly of Deities on Mount Muñjavat
वासुकिश्च महाभागश्चामृताशी भुजङ्गराट् ॥ ज्वलत्फणासहस्रेण अनन्तश्च धराधरः
vāsukiś ca mahābhāgaś cāmṛtāśī bhujaṅgarāṭ || jvalatphaṇāsahasreṇa anantaś ca dharādharaḥ
वासुकि भी आया था, वो बड़ा खास नाग राजा। अमृत पीता है वो। और अनंत भी था, धरती को उठा के रखता है। उसकी हज़ार फनें थी, जल रही थी जैसे अग्नि हो।
