तस्मात्प्रवर्त्यतां यज्ञ स्सशरीरो यथा दिवम्।गच्छेदिक्ष्वाकुदायादो विश्वामित्रस्य तेजसा।।।।तथा प्रवर्त्यतां यज्ञ स्सर्वे समधितिष्ठत।
tasmāt pravartyatāṃ yajñaḥ saśarīro yathā divam | gacched ikṣvākudāyādo viśvāmitrasya tejasā || tathā pravartyatāṃ yajñaḥ sarve samadhitiṣṭhata |
अतः यज्ञ इस प्रकार प्रवर्तित किया जाए कि इक्ष्वाकुवंशज राजा विश्वामित्र के तेज से अपने शरीर सहित स्वर्ग को प्राप्त करे। इसलिए यज्ञ आरम्भ हो—आप सब अपने-अपने स्थानों पर स्थित हो जाइए।
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".
