The Sacred Greatness of Sānandūra
ऋषिलोकं ततो गत्वा पश्येत् तत्राप्यरुन्धतीम् ॥ अथ प्राणान्विमुञ्चेत कृत्वा कर्म सुदुष्करम् ॥
ṛṣilokaṃ tato gatvā paśyet tatrāpy arundhatīm || atha prāṇān vimuñceta kṛtvā karma suduṣkaram
ครั้นแล้วไปยังโลกแห่งฤๅษี พึงได้เห็นพระอรุณธตี ณ ที่นั้นด้วย ต่อจากนั้น เมื่อประกอบพิธีกรรมอันยากยิ่งแล้ว พึงสละลมหายใจแห่งชีวิต
