Transliteration

pipāsitena yāḥ pītā vidhimantrapuraskṛtāḥ | āpastvayā mahārāja mattapovīryasambhūtāḥ ||

Translation

Ломаша сказал: «О великий царь, воды, которые ты выпил, когда тебя мучила жажда, — после того как были должным образом совершены обряд и произнесены священные мантры, — были водами, явленными силой моего подвижничества (тапаса). Потому они не были обычными: они возникли из аскетической мощи и к ним следовало приближаться с благоговением и самообладанием».
