Raghuvamsha | Sarga 1 Shloka 12

Moving on,

तदन्वये शुद्धिमति प्रसूतःशुद्धिमत्तरः|
दिलीप इति राजेन्दुरिन्दुः क्षीरनिधाविव ||

                     tadanvaye śuddhimati prasūtaḥ śuddhimattaraḥ |
                         dilīpa iti rājendurinduḥ kṣīranidhāviva || 



In this unblemished dynasty, a king named dileepa who was equally blemishless was born similar to the rise of the moon from the milky ocean. 

ಈ ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧವಾದ ವಂಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧ ರಾಜನಾದ ದಿಲೀಪನು, ಕ್ಷೀರಸಾಗರದಿಂದ ಜನಿಸಿದ ಚಂದ್ರನಂತೆ ಜನಿಸಿದನು. 

वैवस्वत मनु के पवित्र वंश में दिलीप नामक अतिपवित्र नृपश्रेष्ठ का जन्म हुआ जिस प्रकार क्षीरसागर में से चन्द्रमा ने।

some thoughts:

- I really like the metaphor in this verse. This is a reference to the birth of moon during the samudra manthana by devas and asuras. The very word indu means bright or illustrious. The moon is also a symbol of purity.
