The Greatness of Hari’s Janmāṣṭamī (Jayantī) Vow
तेन दृष्टा पुनः सापि क्षणाज्जानुवहाभवत् । तां दृष्ट्वा हृष्ट उत्तस्थौ प्रस्थानमकरोद्यथा
tena dṛṣṭā punaḥ sāpi kṣaṇājjānuvahābhavat | tāṃ dṛṣṭvā hṛṣṭa uttasthau prasthānamakarodyathā
అతడు ఆమెను మళ్లీ చూచిన వెంటనే ఆమె క్షణంలోనే అతని మోకాలిపై ఆశ్రయమైంది. ఆమెను చూసి అతడు హర్షంతో లేచి, మునుపటిలాగే ప్రయాణానికి సిద్ధమయ్యాడు.
