अ॒भीवस्वः॒ प्र जि॑हीते॒ यवः॑ प॒क्वः प॒थो बिल॑म्। जनः॒ स भ॒द्रमेध॑ति रा॒ष्ट्रे राज्ञः॑ परि॒क्षितः॑

In wealth-abounding wise the ripe barley is borne away; the pit is cleared from off the road. The people—these—thrive in blessed good, within the realm of King Parikṣit.
पक्की जव धन के साथ लोग आगे बढ़ते हैं। रास्ता साफ़ होता है, रास्ते से खाली जगह हट जाती है। लोग अच्छे दिन पाते हैं। यह सब राजा परीक्षित के राज्य में होता है।
Rishi: Not determinable from excerpt alone.
Devata: Prosperity and public welfare within the rāṣṭra (conceptual); implicitly royal fortune.
