Transliteration

ánv asya sthūráṃ dadṛśe purástād anasthá ū́rur avarámbamāṇaḥ | śáśvatī nā́ry abhícakṣyā́ha súbhadram arya bhójanaṃ bibharṣi ||

Translation

ನಾನು ಅವನ ಸ್ಥೂಲವಾದ ಮಹಾಕಾಯ ರೂಪವನ್ನು ಮುಂಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಂಡೆ—ಅಚಲವಾಗಿ, ದೃಢ ತೊಡೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ವಾಲಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದನು. ಶಾಶ್ವತಿಯಾದ ನಾರಿ ಅವನನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ ಹೇಳಿದಳು: ‘ಹೇ ಆರ್ಯ, ನೀನು ಶುಭದ್ರವಾದ ಭೋಜನವನ್ನು ಧರಿಸುತ್ತೀಯ’—ಯಾತ್ರೆಯನ್ನು ತಾಳುವ ಪೋಷಕ ಪರಿಪೂರ್ಣತೆ.
