The Tale of the Vulture and the She-Jackal: The Māhātmya of the Saukarava Sacred Field
अभिषिञ्चस्व राज्ये स्वे ज्येष्ठं पुत्रं कुलोचितम्॥ एहि नाथ मया सार्द्धं क्षेत्रं सौकरवं प्रति॥
abhiṣiñcasva rājye sve jyeṣṭhaṃ putraṃ kulocitam || ehi nātha mayā sārddhaṃ kṣetraṃ saukaravaṃ prati ||
अपने राज्य में अपने बड़े बेटे को राजा बना दो। वो बेटा है जो इस खानदान के लिए सही है। चलिए नाथ, मेरे साथ चलिए। सौकरवा नाम का क्षेत्र है वहाँ चलिए।
