11.11
दिव्यमाल्याम्बरधरं दिव्यगन्धानुलेपनम् ।
सर्वाश्चर्यमयं देवमनन्तं विश्वतोमुखम् ॥
divyamālyāmbaradharaṃ divyagandhānulepanam
sarvāścaryamayaṃ devam anantaṃ viśvatomukham
Sañjaya (सञ्जय) is still speaking. The accusatives still describe the form of 11.9.
The verse
Wearing divine garlands and garments, anointed with divine fragrance, the god made of every wonder, endless, with faces on every side.
नेपालीमा
दिव्य माला र वस्त्र लाएका, दिव्य सुगन्धले लेपिएका, हरेक आश्चर्यले बनेका, अनन्त, सबैतिर मुख भएका देव थिए।
Where it sits
The description Sañjaya (सञ्जय) owes the king is complete enough to be compared. 11.12 will reach for a light that could stand next to it, and will not find one in the ordinary sky.

Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| देवनागरी | Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|---|
| दिव्य-माल्य-अम्बर-धरम् | divya-mālya-ambara-dharam | accusative singular neuter | wearing divine garlands and garments. mālya (माल्य) is a garland. ambara (अम्बर) is a garment. dhara (धर) is "wearing." |
| दिव्य-गन्ध-अनुलेपनम् | divya-gandha-anulepanam | accusative singular neuter | anointed with a divine fragrance. gandha (गन्ध) is scent. anulepana (अनुलेपन) is the unguent. |
| सर्व-आश्चर्य-मयम् | sarva-āścarya-mayam | accusative singular neuter | made of every wonder. The suffix --maya (मय) means "made of." |
| देवम् | devam | accusative | the god. |
| अनन्तम् | anantam | accusative | endless. |
| विश्वतः-मुखम् | viśvataḥ-mukham | accusative | with faces on every side. viśvataḥ (विश्वतः) is "from everywhere, on every side." mukha (मुख) is the face. |
The phrases
divya-mālya-ambara-dharam divya-gandha-anulepanam (दिव्य-माल्य-अम्बर-धरम् दिव्य-गन्ध-अनुलेपनम्) is scent and clothing. Garlands, garments, fragrance. Still accusative, still the form.
सर्व-आश्चर्य-मयम् देवम् अनन्तम् विश्वतः-मुखम् sarva-āścarya-mayam devam anantam viśvataḥ-mukham finally names him a god. Made of every wonder, endless, faces turned every way. devam (देवम्) is the noun. The rest agree with it, or with rūpam (रूपम्) behind it.
Sanskrit in this line
--maya (मय) is a suffix, not a verb. sarva-āścarya-mayam (सर्व-आश्चर्य-मयम्) is "made of all wonder," the way a thing is made of the stuff named in front of the suffix. सर्व + आश्चर्य sarva + āścarya is sarvāścarya (सर्वाश्चर्य).
Say it back
What he wears, and which way the faces look. If viśvataḥ-mukham (विश्वतः-मुखम्) comes out as one face, stay here.
