गन्धारे क्षोभणादित्यं लंकायाममरद्युतिम् । कर्णादित्यं च चंपायां प्रबोधे शुभदर्शिनम्
gandhāre kṣobhaṇādityaṃ laṃkāyāmamaradyutim | karṇādityaṃ ca caṃpāyāṃ prabodhe śubhadarśinam
गन्धारे स भगवान् “क्षोभणादित्यः” प्रसिद्धः; लङ्कायां “अमरद्युतिः”; चम्पायां “कर्णादित्यः”; प्रबोधे च “शुभदर्शिनः” इति कीर्त्यते।
