The Greatness of Kubjāmraka: Raibhya’s Boon and the Teaching on the Sacred Tīrthas
तस्मिन् कृतोदकस्तीर्थे स्वच्छन्दगमनालयः ॥ भ्रमे द्विमानमारूढो सहस्रान्तरणर्तितः ॥
tasmin kṛtodakas tīrthe svacchandagamanālayaḥ | bhramed vimānam ārūḍho sahasrāntaranartitaḥ ||
நீர்-சடங்கு நிகழ்ந்த அந்தத் தீர்த்தத்தில்—சுதந்திரமாகச் செல்லும் தங்குமிடமாகிய அங்கே—அவன் தெய்வ விமானத்தில் ஏறி அலைந்து, ஆயிரம் சுற்றுகளாகச் சுழற்றப்பட்டான்।
