“As the moon, the scatterer of myriads of rays, from the Sun, so from him was born Vigrahapāla-deva the scatterer of innumerable riches. By his rise (or birth), who was pleasing to the eyes on account of personal beauty (or by his soft rays), who was pure (or spotless), who was learned in the arts (*kalāmaya*), was alleviated the distress of the world” (V. 10).
