परिखा खन््यतामत्र ममावसदने नृपा: । उपासिष्ये विवस्वन्तमेवं शरशताचित:
parikhā khanyatām atra mamāvasadane nṛpāḥ | upāsiṣye vivasvantam evaṁ śaraśatācitaḥ ||
ສັນຊະຍະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ໂອ ບັນດາກະສັດ, ຈົ່ງຂຸດຄູຢູ່ນີ້ ລ້ອມຮອບບ່ອນທີ່ຂ້າພະເຈົ້ານອນຢູ່. ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຈະຢູ່ທີ່ນີ້ແຫຼະ ດ້ວຍຮ່າງກາຍທີ່ຖືກລູກສອນນັບຮ້ອຍປັກຄາ ແລະຈະນະມັດສະການ ວິວັສວັດ—ພຣະອາທິດ.»
