vaiśampāyana uvāca | dīnāndhakṛpaṇādibhyo dīyamānena cāniśam | babhau paramakalyāṇo mahastasya mahāgireḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana dit : Comme l’on distribuait sans relâche dons et provisions aux pauvres, aux aveugles, aux indigents et à d’autres encore, le grand festival tenu sur cette montagne puissante paraissait souverainement de bon augure. La scène met en lumière la générosité publique et le soin des plus vulnérables comme marque d’une prospérité et d’un mérite véritables.
