The Efficacy and Merit of Cakra-tīrtha
सन्निधावुपलं दृष्ट्वा गृहीतं तेन तत्पदा ॥ चूर्णयामास तौ पादौ पीडया मोहितो द्विजः ॥
sannidhāv upalaṁ dṛṣṭvā gṛhītaṁ tena tat-padā || cūrṇayāmāsa tau pādau pīḍayā mohito dvijaḥ ||
ครั้นเห็นก้อนหินอยู่ใกล้ เขาใช้เท้าหยิบขึ้นมา; พราหมณ์ผู้เกิดสองครั้งนั้นหลงมัวด้วยความปวด จึงบดขยี้เท้าทั้งสองของตน
