प्राह्नादिरेवं वातापिरगस्त्येनोपशामित: । तस्यायमाश्रमो राजन् रमणीयैर्गुणैर्युत:,वातापि प्रह्नादके गोत्रमें उत्पन्न हुआ था, जिसे अगस्त्यजीने इस प्रकार शान्त कर दिया। राजन! यह उन्हींका रमणीय गुणोंसे युक्त आश्रम है
prāhnādir evaṁ vātāpir agastyenopaśāmitaḥ | tasyāyam āśramo rājan ramaṇīyair guṇair yutaḥ ||
وهكذا أُخضع فاطابي—المولود في سلالة برهلادا—وأُسكن شرّه على يد الحكيم أغاستيا. أيها الملك، هذا هو آشرَمه بعينه، موفورًا بصفات بهيجة مباركة.
