समवाय: स राजेन्द्र सुमहाद्भुतदर्शन: । आसीन्महात्मनां तेषां काम्यके भरतर्षभ,भरतवंशभूषण महाराज जनमेजय! उस समय काम्यकवनमें उन महात्माओंका बड़ा अद्भुत सम्मेलन जुटा था

ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。王の中の最勝者よ、その集いはまことに壮大で、驚嘆すべき光景であった。カーミヤカの森において、バーラタ族の雄牛よ、あの高き魂を宿す者たちは、比類なき会合として集結した——そこには敬虔と霊的威徳が満ち、彼らの臨在そのものが道義の重みを帯びていた。
