The Curse of Sāmba and the Prescribed Observance of Sun-Worship
पश्चात्साम्बः समायातस्तस्याग्रे करसंपुटम् ॥ कृत्वा स्थितो मुहूर्तं तु किमाज्ञापयसि प्रभो
paścātsāmbaḥ samāyātas tasyāgre karasaṃpuṭam || kṛtvā sthito muhūrtaṃ tu kimājñāpayasi prabho
បន្ទាប់មក សាំបៈ (Sāmba) បានមកដល់; គាត់ឈរនៅមុខដោយប្រណមដៃមួយភ្លែត ហើយនិយាយថា «ព្រះអម្ចាស់ តើព្រះองค์បញ្ជាអ្វី?»
