「ここに麗しきヴィンディヤ山がある。さまざまな樹木と蔓草に満ちている。ここにプラシュラヴァナの丘があり、そしてここに海—大いなる大洋がある。安寧あれ、ヴァーナラの中の雄たちよ。私は今、我が住まいへ帰ろう。」そう言い終えると、スヴァヤンプロバーは再びその輝かしい洞窟へと入っていった。
'This Vindhya mountain has a rich collection of trees and bushes. This is Prasravana hill and this is the great ocean.O monkeys. Good luck to you. (Now) I am going back home'. Having said so, Svayamprabha entered the splendid cave.
