Shloka 30
ततो रात्र्यां व्यतीतायां प्रातरुत्थाय स द्विज: । स्नात्वा प्रादुश्चकाराग्निं स्तुत्वा चैनं प्रधानत:,तदनन्तर रात बीतनेपर वे द्विज प्रातःकाल उठे और उन्होंने स्नान करके अग्निदेवको प्रज्वलित किया। फिर मुख्य-मुख्य वैदिक मन्त्रोंसे अग्निदेवकी स्तुति करके “रुद्राणी रुद्र' नामक तीर्थमें गये और वहाँ सरोवरके तटपर कुछ कालतक विश्राम करते रहे। विश्रामके पश्चात् उठकर वे कैलासकी ओर चल दिये
tato rātryāṁ vyatītāyāṁ prātar utthāya sa dvijaḥ | snātvā prāduścakārāgniṁ stutvā cainaṁ pradhānataḥ ||
