evamuktvā'tha sā raṃbhā śaṃsitā nikhilaiḥ suraiḥ | amogharetasastasya dadhre garbhaṃ nijodare
یوں کہہ کر رمبھا—جسے تمام دیوتاؤں نے سراہا—اس مُنی کے اَموگھ بیج سے، جس کا وِیرْیَ اٹل تھا، اپنے ہی بطن میں حمل ٹھہرا لیا۔

Type: kshetra
Scene: Rambhā, radiant and modest, stands amid assembled devas who praise her; a subtle aura indicates conception by the sage’s unfailing seed—no explicit eroticism, only divine wonder.
