तं चास्य चंक्रमन्तं अन्वागमि वीजनं च च्छत्रं च ।
मा वरविदुनो काये दंशा मशका च निपतेन्सुः ॥ १४३ ॥
taṃ cāsya caṃkramantaṃ anvāgami vījanaṃ ca cchatraṃ ca |
mā varaviduno kāye daṃśā maśakā ca nipatensuḥ || 143 ||
And as he walked along a fan and a sunshade of their own accord followed him, lest gadflies and gnats should alight on the body of the Omniscient One. (143)
