Tapovana-praveśaḥ — The King’s Entry into the Sacred Grove and Vision of the Āśrama
एवं वीर्यबलोल्सिक्ति भूरियत्नैर्महासुरै: । पीड्यमाना मही राजन् ब्रह्माणमुपचक्रमे,राजन्! जब इस प्रकार बल और पराक्रमके मदसे उन्मत्त महादैत्य विशेष यत्नपूर्वक इस पृथ्वीको पीड़ा देने लगे, तब यह ब्रह्माजीकी शरणमें जानेको उद्यत हुई
evaṁ vīrya-balolliktaḥ bhūri-yatnaiḥ mahāsuraiḥ | pīḍyamānā mahī rājan brahmāṇam upacakrame ||
毗舍波耶那说道：“大王啊，当大地被那些强盛的阿修罗以力与勇为醉、竭尽其能不断压迫折磨，终于不堪其苦时，她便起身前往，求庇于梵天（Brahmā）。”
