Upamanyu’s Tapas, Shiva’s Indra-Form Test, and the Bestowal of Kshiroda and Gaṇapatya
Devanagari script
बहुनात्र किमुक्तेन मयाद्यानुमितं महत् भवान्तरकृतं पापं श्रुता निन्दा भवस्य तु
Transliteration
bahunātra kimuktena mayādyānumitaṃ mahat bhavāntarakṛtaṃ pāpaṃ śrutā nindā bhavasya tu
Translation
De que serve dizer muito aqui? Desde o início, discerni claramente uma grave verdade: o pecado cometido em outro estado de ser amadureceu, porque a difamação de Bhava (Senhor Śiva) foi ouvida.
