Transliteration

pipāsitena yāḥ pītā vidhimantrapuraskṛtāḥ | āpastvayā mahārāja mattapovīryasambhūtāḥ ||

Translation

Sinabi ni Lomaśa: “O dakilang hari, ang tubig na ininom mo nang ikaw ay uhaw na uhaw—matapos pangunahan ng wastong ritwal at mga banal na mantra—ay tubig na sumibol mula sa lakas ng aking pag-aayuno at pagninilay (tapas). Kaya’t hindi iyon karaniwang tubig; mula iyon sa kapangyarihan ng pagkamapagpigil, at dapat lapitan nang may paggalang at pagpipigil.”
