[15] Though a boy in boyhood by the count of years, by virtue of his unimpaired limbs he made his left arm into a mighty staff for the umbrella of the mountain. Ha! Consider also his boundless cleverness: he made Sudarśana truly fair to behold, even though he had assumed an ugly appearance. Thinking, as it were, that the name Śaṅkhacūḍa should not belong to one whose crest-gem was a jewel, he seized the crest-gem of that Yakṣa renowned for his wealth, leaving him only a conch, ruined Ariṣṭa, drew out Keśin’s confidence, and having attained the fulfillment of his purpose through that act, demonstrated his title of Keśava.
