Shloka 14
अध्याय ९० — लोमशोपदेशः तथा तीर्थयात्रानिश्चयः
Lomaśa’s Counsel and the Resolve for Pilgrimage
वेदज्ञौ वेदविद्वांसौ वेदविद्याविदावु भौ । ईजाते क्रतुभिर्मुख्यै: पुण्यैर्भरतसत्तम,भरतश्रेष्ठ! ये दोनों मुनि वेदज्ञ, वेदके मर्मज्ञ तथा वेदविद्याके पूर्ण जानकार हैं। इन्होंने पुण्यदायक उत्तम यज्ञोंद्वारा शंकरका यजन किया है
vedajñau vedavidvāṁsau vedavidyāvidāv ubhau | ījāte kratubhir mukhyaiḥ puṇyair bharatasattama ||
قال دهوميا: «يا خيرَ آلِ بهاراتا، إن هذين الحكيمين عالِمان بالڤيدا، عارفان بأسرار معانيها، متقنَان لعلومها. وبقرابينَ هي الأسمى والأكثرَ جلبًا للثواب، قد عبدا شانكَرا.»
