The Greatness of Kubjāmraka: Raibhya’s Boon and the Teaching on the Sacred Tīrthas
व्यालीं दृष्ट्वा राजपुत्रः सहसा हन्तुमिच्छति ॥ अथ तस्यास्तु कालेन कोसलाधिपतिस्तथा ॥
vyālīṃ dṛṣṭvā rājaputraḥ sahasā hantum icchati || atha tasyāstu kālena kosalādhipatis tathā ||
व्यालीला पाहून राजपुत्र सहसा तिला मारू इच्छितो. पुढे काळाच्या ओघात तोही कोसलाचा अधिपती झाला.
