करिष्यति न संदेहो भस्मराशिं ममाग्रतः । अनेन वीक्षितौ पादौ जातमात्रेण सूर्यकौ
kariṣyati na saṃdeho bhasmarāśiṃ mamāgrataḥ | anena vīkṣitau pādau jātamātreṇa sūryakau
സംശയമില്ല, എന്റെ മുന്നിൽ വെച്ചുതന്നെ ചാരക്കൂമ്പാരമാക്കും. ജനിച്ച ഉടനെ ഇദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ ദൃഷ്ടി പതിഞ്ഞതുകൊണ്ട് രണ്ട് പാദങ്ങളും സൂര്യനെപ്പോലെയായി.
