जड उवाच इति वाक्यं तयोः श्रुत्वा विमर्शमगमत्पिता ।
विमृश्य चाह तौ पुत्रौ नागराट् प्रहसन्निव ॥
jaḍa uvāca iti vākyaṁ tayoḥ śrutvā vimarśam agamat pitā | vimṛśya cāha tau putrau nāgarāṭ prahasann iva ||
Jaḍa berkata: Mendengar kata-kata kedua putranya itu, sang ayah tenggelam dalam perenungan; lalu setelah mempertimbangkan, raja para Nāga berbicara kepada kedua putranya seakan tersenyum.
