मन्दाकिनीनदीदर्शनम्
The Vision of the Mandākinī at Citrakūṭa
दर्शनं चित्रकूटस्य मन्दाकिन्याश्च शोभने।अधिकं पुरवासाच्च मन्ये तव च दर्शनात्।।।।
darśanaṃ citrakūṭasya mandākinyāś ca śobhane | adhikaṃ puravāsāc ca manye tava ca darśanāt ||
ឱ ព្រះសីតាដ៏ស្រស់ស្អាត! ខ្ញុំយល់ថា ការបានឃើញចិត្រកូដ និងទន្លេមន្ទាគិនីដ៏រុងរឿង—នៅក្នុងវត្តមានរបស់អ្នក—រីករាយលើសជាងការស្នាក់នៅក្នុងទីក្រុង (អយោធ្យា)។
The waters of river Mandakini is perpetually agitated by siddhas who are endowed with asceticism, self-restraint and tranquillity and who are cleansed of sins by taking bath in the river. Plunge with me into this river.
