A devatā:“One Root One Root

“Ekamūlaṁ dvirāvaṭṭaṁ,
With its one root, two whirlpools,
“One is the root, two are the whirlpools,

timalaṁ pañcapattharaṁ;
Three stains, five extensions,
three are the stains, five the spreads,

Samuddaṁ dvādasāvaṭṭaṁ,
An ocean with twelve eddies.
twelve the ocean’s whirlpools:

pātālaṁ atarī isī”ti.
The seer has crossed over the abyss.”
such is the abyss crossed over by the seer.”
