ततस्तु नवमे प्राप्ते दिवसे कुरुपांडवाः । भीष्माद्याः पुंडरीकाक्षमिदमूचुः ससौहृ दम्
tatastu navame prāpte divase kurupāṃḍavāḥ | bhīṣmādyāḥ puṃḍarīkākṣamidamūcuḥ sasauhṛ dam
پھر جب نواں دن آیا تو بھیشم وغیرہ کی قیادت میں کُرو اور پانڈَووں نے پُنڈریکاکش سے محبت بھرے خلوص کے ساتھ یہ کلمات کہے۔

The ongoing tīrtha of Adhyāya 73 (Nāgarakhaṇḍa, Tīrthamāhātmya); the precise site-name is clarified in adjacent verses.
