rasānāṁ cābhavan kulyā bhakṣyāṇāṁ cāpi parvatāḥ | sahasravyāmā nṛpate yūpāś cāsan hiraṇmayāḥ ||
ທີ່ນັ້ນ ມີຄອງນ້ຳແຫ່ງນ້ຳຫວານແລະເຄື່ອງດື່ມອັນຫອມຫວານໄຫຼຜ່ານ, ແລະກອງອາຫານສູງດຸດດັ່ງພູ. ໂອ ພຣະຣາຊາ, ໃນຍັດຍະນັ້ນ ມີເສົາບູຊາ (ຢູປະ) ເປັນຄຳ ງາມສະຫງ່າ, ແຕ່ລະຕົ້ນຍາວກວ້າງເຖິງໜຶ່ງພັນ ວະຍາມະ, ຕັ້ງສະຫວ່າງໄສຢ່າງສົດງາມ.
