Translation

Překlad

In the valley of Mandara Hill, Hiraṇyakaśipu began performing his austerities by standing with his toes on the ground, keeping his arms upward and looking toward the sky. This position was extremely difficult, but he accepted it as a means to attain perfection.

V údolí hory Mandary započal Hiraṇyakaśipu svou askezi, při níž stál na špičkách se zdviženými pažemi a hleděl do nebe. Byla to nesmírně obtížná pozice, ale on ji přijal jako prostředek sloužící k dosažení dokonalosti.
