Text 1.24.22
इमौ जनपदौ स्फीतौ ख्यातिं लोके गमिष्यतः।
मलदाश्च करूशश्च ममाङ्गमलधारिणौ॥
imau janapadau sphītau khyātiṁ loke gamiṣyataḥ
maladāś ca karūśaś ca mamāṅga-mala-dhāriṇau
imau = these two; janapadau = areas; sphītau = extensive; khyātim loke gamiṣyataḥ = who will become famous in the world; maladāḥ ca = as Malada; karūśaḥ ca = and Karūśa; mama aṅga-mala-dhāriṇau = for they have taken away my body’s contamination and hunger.
These two extensive areas will become famous in the world as Malada and Karūśa for they have taken away my body’s contamination and hunger.
This is that benediction.
