Adhyaya 58 — The Kurma-Form of Narayana: Mapping Bharata through Nakshatras, Regions, and Planetary Afflictions
वारुणञ्चात्र नक्षत्रं तत्र प्रौष्ठपदाद्वयम् ।
येन किन्नरराज्यञ्च पशुपालं सकीचकम् ॥
vāruṇaṃ cātra nakṣatraṃ tatra prauṣṭhapadādvayam | yena kinnararājyaṃ ca paśupālaṃ sakīcakam ||
ഇവിടെ വരുണബന്ധമുള്ള നക്ഷത്രവും, അവിടെ പ്രോഷ്ഠപദാ-യുഗ്മവും ഉണ്ട്; ഇതിലൂടെ കിന്നരരുടെ ലോകവും, കീചകരോടുകൂടിയ ഗോപാലരുടെ ദേശവും സൂചിപ്പിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു।
