ततस्ते सुमुखं गृह सर्व एव महौजस: । ददृशु: शक्रमासीनं देवराज॑ महाद्युतिम्,तदनन्तर उन सभी महातेजस्वी सज्जनोंने सुमुखको साथ लेकर परम कान्तिमान् देवराज इन्द्रका दर्शन किया, जो स्वर्गके सिंहासनपर विराजमान थे
tataste sumukhaṃ gṛha sarva eva mahaujasaḥ | dadṛśuḥ śakram āsīnaṃ devarājaṃ mahādyutim ||
ಅನಂತರ ಆ ಮಹೌಜಸ್ವಿಗಳಾದ ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಸುಮુખನನ್ನು ಜೊತೆಕೊಂಡು, ಸ್ವರ್ಗಸಿಂಹಾಸನದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಸೀನನಾಗಿ ಪರಮ ದ್ಯುತಿಯಿಂದ ಪ್ರಕಾಶಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ದೇವರಾಜ ಶಕ್ರ (ಇಂದ್ರ)ನನ್ನು ದರ್ಶನಮಾಡಿದರು।
