ददौ महेशपुत्राय वासवः परवीरहा । तौ हि शत्रून्महेन्द्रस्य जघ्नतुः समरे बहून्
dadau maheśaputrāya vāsavaḥ paravīrahā | tau hi śatrūnmahendrasya jaghnatuḥ samare bahūn
Vāsava (Indra), pembunuh para pahlawan musuh, menyerahkan kedua pengiring itu kepada putra Maheśa; sebab merekalah yang menewaskan banyak musuh Mahendra di medan laga.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages
