[translation-eng] {Hopkins} Garlanded Belly

[comments] Comment: also known as viṣṇu. Gung-tang reports that during his youth Viṣhṇu wore a garland of flowers around his waist and that according to one story his wife wanted to put a garland of flowers around his head, but the garland reached only his waist, this being why he is called ""Garlanded Belly.""
