Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
अनन्तशयने देवं शयानं योगशायिनम् ।। ततः कमलपत्राक्षी नानाभरणभूषिता
anantaśayane devaṃ śayānaṃ yogaśāyinam || tataḥ kamalapatrākṣī nānābharaṇabhūṣitā
मग तिने अनंतशय्येवर शयन करणारा, योगनिद्रेत स्थित देव पाहिला; त्यानंतर कमलपत्रनेत्री देवी नानाविध आभूषणांनी भूषित झाली।
