चापोदरे करतलप्रतिमे वररोमराजिनि चित्रस्तवने ।
इह वासम् अभ्युपगतो वरदो अविम्रक्षितो अशुचिना भगवां ॥ २६ ॥
cāpodare karatalapratime vararomarājini citrastavane |
iha vāsam abhyupagato varado avimrakṣito aśucinā bhagavāṃ || 26 ||
“In you, whose belly, with its fair streak of downy hair, curves like the palm of the hand, and whose renown is bright, the Exalted One has taken up his abode, the Gracious One who is untainted by impurity. (26)
