एवं सुरमणीयानि वनान्युपवनानि च । आलोकयमन्तस्ते जम्मुर्विशालां बदरीं प्रति,इस प्रकार अत्यन्त रमणीय वन और उपवनोंका अवलोकन करते हुए वे सब लोग विशाला बदरी (बदरिकाश्रम तीर्थ)-की ओर प्रस्थित हुए
evaṁ suramaṇīyāni vanāny upavanāni ca | ālokayamantas te jagmur viśālāṁ badarīṁ prati ||
قال غَطوتكَجَا: «وهكذا، وهم يتأمّلون الغابات والبساتين الغنّاء البديعة على امتداد الطريق، مضى الجميع نحو فيشالا بادري المشهورة—معتكف بادري المقدّس».
