[edit] Commentary
- kamalApta kula kalazAbdhi candra –It is not clear whether this should be translated as a single epithet as ‘moon born in the ocean of Solar dynasty’ or as two epithets (1) ‘one belonging to the Solar dynasty’ and (2) ‘the moon shining in the milk ocean’.
- In the former case, it becomes difficult to translate kalazAbdhi simply as ‘ocean’ as 'kalazAbdhi’ actually means ‘milk ocean from where the pitcher of nectar emerged’; in the latter case, it is not clear whether it would be appropriate to call the Lord ‘as moon shining in the milk ocean’.
- This has been translated as a single epithet in keeping with the translation found in all the books.
