एतद्धयशिरो राजन्नाख्यानं तव कीर्तितम् । पुराणं वेदसमितं यन्मां त्वं परिपृच्छसि,राजन! तुमने जिसके लिये मुझसे पूछा था, यह हयग्रीवावतारकी वेदानुमोदित प्राचीन कथा मैंने तुम्हें सुना दी
Vaiśaṃpāyana uvāca: etad dhayaśiro rājann ākhyānaṃ tava kīrtitam | purāṇaṃ vedasamitaṃ yan māṃ tvaṃ paripṛcchasi ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana dit : «Ô Roi, je t’ai maintenant rapporté cet antique récit de Hayagrīva—attesté en accord avec les Veda—au sujet duquel tu m’interrogeais. Ainsi la vénérable tradition conforme aux Veda que tu cherchais a été dite comme il se doit.»
