Cyavana’s Yogic Display and Kuśika’s Recognition of Tapas (च्यवन-योगप्रभावः कुशिकस्य तपःप्रशंसा च)
अर्चयामास तं चापि तस्य राज्ञ: पुरोहित: । सत्यव्रतं महात्मानं देवकल्पं विशाम्पते,प्रजानाथ! राजाके पुरोहितने देवताओंके समान तेजस्वी सत्यव्रती महात्मा च्यवनमुनिका विधिपूर्वक पूजन किया
arcayāmāsa taṃ cāpi tasya rājñaḥ purohitaḥ | satyavrataṃ mahātmānaṃ devakalpaṃ viśāmpate prajānātha |
قال بهيشما: إن كاهنَ بيتِ الملك أقام له أيضًا عبادةً على الوجه المأثور—لذلك الحكيم العظيم تشيافانا، الثابت على نذر الصدق، المتلألئ كالإله، يا سيّدَ الناس. ويؤكد هذا المقطع وجوب توقير النزاهة الروحية، وواجبَ الملك في إكرام من استقاموا على الحقّ والدَّرما.
