Guru-tīrtha Greatness within the Vena Episode
बहिर्गतो हि धर्मात्मा कुटीद्वारात्प्रपश्यति । संपूर्णं बालकं दृष्ट्वा दिव्यलक्षणसंयुतम्
bahirgato hi dharmātmā kuṭīdvārātprapaśyati | saṃpūrṇaṃ bālakaṃ dṛṣṭvā divyalakṣaṇasaṃyutam
Orang yang berjiwa dharma itu keluar lalu memandang dari ambang pintu pondok. Melihat seorang anak lelaki yang sempurna rupanya, dihiasi tanda-tanda ilahi, dia pun terpaku kehairanan.
