प्रतिबुद्धं च कुमारं प्रवेणियं अष्टमंगलकृतायं ।
उपनामयि मातुस्मा घनविवरकृतं च आदित्यं ॥ ५१ ॥
pratibuddhaṃ ca kumāraṃ praveṇiyaṃ aṣṭamaṃgalakṛtāyaṃ |
upanāmayi mātusmā ghanavivarakṛtaṃ ca ādityaṃ || 51 ||
And when the child was awake, he took him from his mother and presented him with his hair in eight braids, like the sun emerging through a rift in the clouds. (51)
