«Por tanto, póngase en marcha el yajña de tal modo que el rey, descendiente de Ikṣvāku, pueda ir al cielo con su propio cuerpo por el resplandor espiritual de Viśvāmitra. Así pues, que prosiga el rito: que todos ocupen sus puestos y comiencen.»
Hence let the sacrifice be performed in such a manner that the descendant of the Ikshvakus would attain heaven with his physical body through the spiritual power of Viswamitra. All of you commence the sacrifice".
