Sanskrit Original
ततस्तु सक्तुगन्धेन क्लेदेन सलिलस्य च॥ दिव्यपुष्पविमर्दाच्च साधोनलवैश्च तैः। विप्रस्य तपसा तस्य शिरो मे काञ्चनीकृतम्॥ तस्य सत्याभिसंधस्य सक्तुदानेन चैव ह। शरीरार्धं च मे विप्राः शातकुम्भमयं कृतम्॥ पश्यतेमं सुविपुलं तपसा तस्य धीमतः।
There with the scent of that powdered barley, with the mire caused by the water (with the Brahmana had given or his guest), with the contact (of my body) with the cclestial flowers which had been rained down, with the particles of the barley powder which that good man had given away, and the penances of that Brahmana, my head became gold. See, on account of the gift of that Brahmana who was firm in truth, and his penances half of this my ample body has become golden.
