Śrī-Somaśarman érigea, lui, ce śrī-Tribhuvaneśvara accompagné d'une image du Soleil, avec de grands honneurs et de splendides offrandes.

He gave the entire Mahābhārata, along with the Rāmāyaṇa and the Purāṇa, and he instigated a daily, uninterrupted practice of their recitation.

For as long as the wealth of Tribhuvaneśvara remains, whoever .

just a part of the merit of such a person of great good deeds.

Whichever ill-thinking person should take even one book from here will .
