कदाचिद्राजपुत्रेण विनासौ द्विजनंदनः । स्नातुं गतो नदीतीरे चचार बहुलीलया
kadācidrājaputreṇa vināsau dvijanaṃdanaḥ | snātuṃ gato nadītīre cacāra bahulīlayā
ایک بار، راجپتر کے بغیر، وہ برہمن کا بیٹا دریا کے کنارے اشنان کرنے گیا اور وہاں بہت کھیلتے ہوئے اِدھر اُدھر گھومتا رہا۔
Narrator (Purāṇic narration)
Type: ghat
Scene: A young brāhmaṇa boy alone at a riverbank, playful and carefree, moving along the shore with water shimmering; the scene foreshadows discovery.
Purāṇic narratives often show how ordinary acts like river-bathing become gateways to providential events.
A riverbank is mentioned but not named; the tīrtha identity is not specified in this verse.
Snāna (bathing) at the riverbank is described, though not framed here as a formal vow.
