Chapter 8
ख्रुवहस्ताय पतये धन्विने भार्गवाय च । अजाय कृष्णनेत्राय विरूपाक्षाय चैव ह
dhruvahastāya pataye dhanvine bhārgavāya ca | ajāya kṛṣṇanetrāya virūpākṣāya caiva ha ||
قال سَمْفَرْتَا: «(تُقدَّم القرابين والتحيات) إلى دْهْرُوَهاسْتَا، وإلى الربّ، وإلى حامل القوس، وإلى بهارغَفا؛ وكذلك إلى أَجا، وإلى ذي العينين الداكنتين، وحقًّا إلى فيرُوباكشا.»
