प्राचीं दिशं महात्मान आजम्मुस्ते महर्षय: । राजन्! ऐसा विचार करके उन तीनों भाइयोंने वही किया। वे सभी यजमानोंके यहाँ पशुओंकी प्राप्तिके उद्देश्स्से गये और उनसे विधिपूर्वक यज्ञ करवाकर उस याज्यकर्मके द्वारा उन्होंने बहुतेरे पशु प्राप्त कर लिये। तत्पश्चात् वे महात्मा महर्षि पूर्वदिशाकी ओर चल दिये

Vaiśampāyana said: “O King, having reflected in this way, those three brothers acted accordingly. They went to the houses of various sacrificers with the aim of obtaining cattle; and, after having the sacrifices performed in due rite, they acquired many animals through that priestly service. Thereafter, those great-souled seers proceeded toward the eastern direction.”
