which is especially meant for all kinds of perfection.

TEXT 14

ROI TT TAeet qafraeda: |
a wakiaishrat actafsafae: 2

ity ukto jaraya grasta-
deho dhamani-santatah
hradam pravesito “svibhyam
vali-palita-vigrahah

iti uktah—thus being addressed; jaraya—by old age and invalidity;
grasta-dehah—the body being so diseased; dhamani-santatah—whose
veins were visible everywhere on the body; hradam—the lake;
pravesitah—entered; asvibhyam—helped by the Asvini-kumaras; vali-
palita-vigrahah—whose body had loose skin and white hair.

TRANSLATION

After saying this, the Asvini-kumaras caught hold of Cyavana
Muni, who was an old, diseased invalid with loose skin, white hair,
and veins visible all over his body, and all three of them entered
the lake.

PURPORT

Cyavana Muni was so old that he could not enter the lake alone. Thus
the Asvini-kumaras caught hold of his body, and the three of them
entered the lake.
