Shloka 35
Kapālamocana-tīrtha (Auśanasa) and Balarāma’s Sarasvatī Pilgrimage
तद् रेत: स तु जग्राह कलशे वै महातपा: । सप्तधा प्रविभागं तु कलशस्थं जगाम ह,महातपस्वी मुनिने उस वीर्यको एक कलशमें ले लिया। कलशमें स्थित होनेपर वह वीर्य सात भागोंमें विभक्त हो गया
tad retaḥ sa tu jagrāha kalaśe vai mahātapāḥ | saptadhā pravibhāgaṃ tu kalaśasthaṃ jagāma ha |
ไวศัมปายนะกล่าวว่า— “ฤๅษีผู้บำเพ็ญตบะยิ่งใหญ่ได้รองรับเชื้อนั้นไว้ในหม้อ (กะละศะ) ครั้นอยู่ในหม้อแล้ว เชื้อนั้นก็แยกออกเป็นเจ็ดส่วน”
