aham āmantraye sarvān maharṣīn puṇyakarmaṇaḥ | yajñasāhyakarān rājan tato yakṣyasi nirvṛtaḥ ||
Ô Roi, j’inviterai tous les grands ṛṣis aux actes saints, capables d’assister au yajña ; alors tu pourras accomplir le rite l’esprit en paix.
As a consequence of my anger that Mahodaya, devoid of mercy and taking pleasure in depriving others of their life, will pursue a wretched life for a long time".
