इति श्रीब्रह्माण्डे महापुराणे वायुप्रोक्ते मध्यमभागे तृतीय उपोद्धातपादे भार्गवचरिते षट्चत्वारिंशत्त मो ऽध्यायः // ४६// वसिष्ठ उवाच ततो मूर्द्धाभिषिक्तानां राज्ञाममिततेजसाम् / षट्सहस्रद्वयं रामो जीवग्राहं गृहीतवान्
iti śrībrahmāṇḍe mahāpurāṇe vāyuprokte madhyamabhāge tṛtīya upoddhātapāde bhārgavacarite ṣaṭcatvāriṃśatta mo 'dhyāyaḥ // 46// vasiṣṭha uvāca tato mūrddhābhiṣiktānāṃ rājñāmamitatejasām / ṣaṭsahasradvayaṃ rāmo jīvagrāhaṃ gṛhītavān
Thus, in the Śrī Brahmāṇḍa Mahāpurāṇa, in the middle section spoken by Vāyu, in the third upoddhāta-pāda of the Bhārgava narrative, is the forty-sixth chapter. Vasiṣṭha said: Then Rāma took alive, as captives, twelve thousand kings who had been anointed at their coronation, of immeasurable splendor.
