The Glory of Gokarṇa: Description of Nandikeśvara’s Boon and the Assembly of Deities on Mount Muñjavat
तेभ्यः श्रुत्वा सहस्राक्षः सर्वे चान्ये दिवौकसः ॥ विषादं परमं गत्वा चिन्तामापेदिरे भृशम् ॥
tebhyaḥ śrutvā sahasrākṣaḥ sarve cānye divaukasaḥ || viṣādaṃ paramaṃ gatvā cintām āpedire bhṛśam ||
जब इंद्र और सब देवता ने यह सुना, तो वो बहुत दुखी हो गए। सब लोग बहुत टेंशन में आ गए।
