अतः परं प्रवक्ष्यामि गारी यात्रामनुत्तमाम् । शुक्लपक्षे तृतीयायां या यात्रा विष्वगृद्धिदा
ataḥ paraṃ pravakṣyāmi gārī yātrāmanuttamām | śuklapakṣe tṛtīyāyāṃ yā yātrā viṣvagṛddhidā
والآن سأصف ياترا غوري التي لا نظير لها. فإذا أُقيمت في اليوم القمري الثالث (تريتييا) من النصف المضيء، منحت رخاءً ونماءً من كل جهة.
