अस्ति सोमान्ववाये मे जात: कश्रिन्नप: सखा । अभिगच्छावहे त॑ वै तस्यास्ति विभवो भुवि,“चन्द्रवंशमें उत्पन्न एक राजा हैं, जो मेरे मित्र हैं। हम दोनों उन्हींके पास चलें। इस भूतलपर उनके पास अवश्य ही धन है
asti somānvavāye me jātaḥ kaścid nṛpaḥ sakhā | abhigacchāvahe taṃ vai tasyāsti vibhavo bhuvi ||
Dalam garis keturunanku yang menurun dari Soma telah lahir seorang raja, sahabatku. Marilah, kita berdua sungguh-sungguh pergi kepadanya; di bumi ini ia pasti memiliki kemakmuran dan harta.
