Sanskrit Original
तदाप्यहं भविष्यामि वाराणस्यां महामुनिः। नाम्ना वै लाङ्गली भीमो यत्र देवाः सवासवाः।।
tadāpyahaṃ bhaviṣyāmi vārāṇasyāṃ mahāmuniḥ| nāmnā vai lāṅgalī bhīmo yatra devāḥ savāsavāḥ||
Sūta said: In the twenty-second cycle when Śuṣmāyaṇa becomes a Vyāsa, I shall be born as a great sage by the name of Lāṅgalin the terrible, at Vārāṇasī[20]. There the Devas including lord Indra will see me in the Kali age as Bhava and Halāyudha. There too my virtuous sons will be known as Bhallavī, Madhupiṅga, Śvetaketu and Kuśa. After attaining the yoga of Maheśvara they will be engaged in meditation. Free from impurities and identical with Brahman they will enter Rudra’s world.
