च्यवनं च सुकन्यां च दृष्टवा देवसुताविव । रेमे सभार्य: शर्याति: कृत्स्नां प्राप्प महीमिव,च्यवन और सुकनन््याको देवकुमारोंके समान सुखी देखकर पत्नीसहित शर्यातिको महान् हर्ष हुआ, मानो उन्हें सम्पूर्ण पृथ्वीका राज्य मिल गया हो। च्यवन ऋषिने रानियोंसहित राजाका बड़ा आदर-सत्कार किया और उनके पास बैठकर मनको प्रिय लगनेवाली कल्याणमयी कथाएँ सुनायीं
cyavanaṁ ca sukanyāṁ ca dṛṣṭvā devasūtāv iva | reme sabhāryaḥ śaryātiḥ kṛtsnāṁ prāpya mahīm iva ||
Melihat Cyavana dan Sukanyā sejahtera bagaikan putra-putra dewa, Raja Śaryāti—bersama permaisurinya—bersukacita besar, seakan-akan ia memperoleh kekuasaan atas seluruh bumi.
