आसीत् तमसातीरे लिङ्गं नाम नगरमेकम् ।
किङ्करो राजा आसीत् किङ्किणि राज्ञी तत्र ॥
भृशं हि अपभ्रंशात् भृतेः भृत्यो बभूव ।
यो रूपेण  योरुपो अभवत् नाम देशो असौ ॥

Meaning : There was a city named London (liṅgam) situated at the banks of the river Thames (tamasā). There was a King (kiṅgkaro) and there was his Queen (kiṅkiṇi) who ruled over the city. By break (bhṛśa / breach) distortion, bhṛte become Britt > British, And in the same way, by break (bhṛśa / breach) distortion, yo rūpo that land become Europe. Then following the rules (of  Sanskrit grammar, with the help of the apatyādi pratyayaḥ), aṅgaṃ (state / place / body) was like-wise turned into āṅglo (Anglican) and the place was named  'England' (āṅgla-liṅgam). 'English' became the language (liṅgavaha) > lingua,  that those people used to speak.
