The Greatness of Stutasvāmi: Varāha’s Disclosure of the Bhūtagiri Sacred Landscape and Its Ethical Discipline
धूते पापे च सुश्रोणि धारा च पतति क्षितौ ॥ एवं तत्र विशालाक्षि वृक्षमश्वत्थमिश्रितम्
dhūte pāpe ca suśroṇi dhārā ca patati kṣitau || evaṃ tatra viśālākṣi vṛkṣam aśvattham iśritam
Apabila dosa telah dibasuh, wahai yang berpinggul elok, aliran itu pun jatuh ke bumi. Demikianlah, wahai yang bermata lebar, di sana ada sebatang pohon yang terkait dengan aśvattha (pokok ara suci).
