पावनोर्धप्रबुद्धोऽभूत्पूर्वसंध्याम्बुजं यथा ।
मौर्ख्यादधिगतो नाप्तः पदे दोलायितः स्थितः ॥ १५ ॥

pāvanordhaprabuddho'bhūtpūrvasaṃdhyāmbujaṃ yathā |
maurkhyādadhigato nāptaḥ pade dolāyitaḥ sthitaḥ || 15 ||

The younger boy named Pavana or the holy, was half awakened in his intellect, like the half blown lotus at the dawn of the day; and his want of intelligence kept him from the knowledge of truth, and in the uncertainty of his faith.
