Aurva Episode: Restoration of Sight and Restraint of World-Destructive Anger
कामवर्णा: कामजवा: कामत: समुपस्थिता: । इति गन्धर्वजा: काम॑ पूरयिष्यन्ति मे हया:,गन्धर्व-देशके घोड़ोंकी यह विशेषता है कि वे इच्छानुसार अपना रंग बदल लेते हैं। सवारकी इच्छाके अनुसार अपने वेगको घटा-बढ़ा सकते हैं। जब आवश्यकता या इच्छा हो, तभी वे उपस्थित हो जाते हैं। इस प्रकार मेरे गन्धर्वदेशीय घोड़े आपकी इच्छापूर्ण करते रहेंगे
kāmavarṇāḥ kāmajavāḥ kāmataḥ samupasthitāḥ | iti gandharvajāḥ kāmaṁ pūrayiṣyanti me hayāḥ ||
O Gandharva disse: “Meus cavalos assumem a cor que se deseja, movem-se com a velocidade que se deseja e aparecem exatamente quando se quer. Assim, estes corcéis criados em terra de Gandharvas continuarão a cumprir os teus desejos.”
