Gurutīrtha Māhātmya (within the Nahuṣa Episode): Celestial Song, Divine Splendor, and Reflective Doubt
आसनात्तूर्णमुत्थाय महोत्साहेन संयुता । तूर्णं गता वरारोहा तपोभावसमन्विता
āsanāttūrṇamutthāya mahotsāhena saṃyutā | tūrṇaṃ gatā varārohā tapobhāvasamanvitā
ఆమె ఆసనంనుండి వేగంగా లేచి, మహోత్సాహంతో నిండినదై; తపోభావసమన్వితమైన ఆ వరారోహా వెంటనే ముందుకు సాగింది।
