अश्वमोचनम् (Aśvamocanam) — “The Release/Recovery of the Sacrificial Horse”
विचित्य पृथिवीं ते तु स पुराचलकाननाम् / अपश्यन्तो यज्ञपशुं दुःखं महदवाप्नुवन्
vicitya pṛthivīṃ te tu sa purācalakānanām / apaśyanto yajñapaśuṃ duḥkhaṃ mahadavāpnuvan
They searched the earth in full—its cities, mountains, and forests—yet, not beholding the sacrificial beast, they fell into great sorrow.
