सत्ये स्थिहित्वा लभये सुरूपं कायं विशिष्टं स्फुटं लक्षणेहि ।
व्यंजनेहि तथ अनुव्यंजनेहि प्रभासमानो स्फुट लक्षणेहि ॥ १३६ ॥
satye sthihitvā labhaye surūpaṃ kāyaṃ viśiṣṭaṃ sphuṭaṃ lakṣaṇehi |
vyaṃjanehi tatha anuvyaṃjanehi prabhāsamāno sphuṭa lakṣaṇehi || 136 ||
“Taking my stand on the truth I should win me a lovely body, distinguished, covered with marks of excellence. Then (should I) appear radiant with signs and characteristics, O thou that art covered with the marks of excellence.” (136)
