अविशड्को नरपते प्रीतो5हं चापि तेन ह । नरेन्द्र! इसके बाद मैं रथपर आरूढ़ होकर बोला, तुम स्त्रीसहित आकर मेरा रथ खींचो। नरेश्वर! इस कार्यको भी तुमने नि:शंक होकर पूर्ण किया। इससे भी मैं तुमपर बहुत संतुष्ट हुआ
aviśaṅko narapate prīto 'haṃ cāpi tena ha | narendra! tataḥ paraṃ rathopasthaṃ samāruhya bravīmi—tvam strīsahita āgatya mama rathaṃ kṛṣva | nareśvara! etad api karma tvayā niḥśaṅkena paripūrṇam; tasmād api 'haṃ tvayi bahu saṃtuṣṭaḥ ||
