बभाषे च तदा स्थाणुमारोहेति सुरोत्तम: | तत्पश्चात् वायुके समान तीव्रगतिवाले उन घोड़ोंको उठाकर सुरश्रेष्ठ भगवान् ब्रह्माने महादेवजीसे कहा--'अब आप रथपर आरूढ़ होइये'
babhāṣe ca tadā sthāṇum āroheti surottamaḥ | tatpaścāt vāyukesamānān tīvragativataḥ aśvān utthāpya suraśreṣṭho bhagavān brahmā mahādevam uvāca—“idānīṃ tvaṃ ratham āroha” ||
