Verse 102.4
यं प्रतिमुखसन्तो परिच्यवसि जगं न कस्य चि स्पृश्यन्तो ।
पित्तरुधिरश्लेष्मणा अलिप्तो दशशतरस्मिसगोत्र तं प्रियं मे ॥ ४ ॥
yaṃ pratimukhasanto paricyavasi jagaṃ na kasya ci spṛśyanto |
pittarudhiraśleṣmaṇā alipto daśaśatarasmisagotra taṃ priyaṃ me || 4 ||
Glad am I, O kinsman of the sun, that thou didst come down and expose thyself to the world of life but wast untouched by aught of it, nor defiled by gall, blood and phlegm. (4)
