Shloka 18
ते वयं जातसंदेहा: पर्यपृच्छामहे रविम् | क एष दिवमाक्रम्य गत: सूर्य इवापर:,ऐसी शंका होनेपर हमने सूर्यदेवसे पूछा--“भगवन्! ये जो दूसरे सूर्यके समान आकाशको लाँघकर यहाँतक आये थे, कौन थे?”
te vayaṁ jāta-saṁdehāḥ paryapṛcchāmahe ravim | ka eṣa divam ākrāmya gataḥ sūrya ivāparaḥ ||
ເມື່ອພວກເຮົາຕົກຢູ່ໃນຄວາມສົງໄສ ຈຶ່ງໄດ້ຖາມພຣະຣະວິ (ພຣະອາທິດ) ວ່າ: “ຂ້າແຕ່ພຣະອົງ! ຜູ້ນັ້ນຜູ້ເຫມືອນພຣະອາທິດອີກດວງ ຜູ້ກ້າວຂ້າມຟ້າມາຮອດນີ້ ແມ່ນໃຜ?”
