वस्त्राण कोटीनयुतां सहस्रां क्षिपे नरेन्द्रे वरवेगजातो ॥ २१६ ॥
bhāṣitva gāthām ima evarūpāṃ vidyupratiṣṭho paro māraputro |
vastrāṇa koṭīnayutāṃ sahasrāṃ kṣipe narendre varavegajāto || 216 ||
When he had spoken this verse, Vidyupratishtha, the other son of Mara, moved by a noble impulse, threw to the Lord of men thousands of kotis of nayutas of garments. (216)
