विश्वकर्मसुतो विप्रा विश्वरूपो महानृपः । पुरोहितोऽथ शक्रस्य याजकश्चाभवत्तदा
viśvakarmasuto viprā viśvarūpo mahānṛpaḥ | purohito'tha śakrasya yājakaścābhavattadā
«يا معشرَ البراهمة، إنَّ فيشفاروبا—ابنَ فيشفاكَرمان، السيدَ العظيم—صار آنذاك بوروهيتا شَكرا (كاهنَه الأسري)، وأصبح أيضًا الياجَكا، مُقيمَ القربان.»
