अथासौ ब्राह्मणो दृष्ट्वा स्वं पुत्रं गृहमागतम् । सहितं विप्ररूपेण धर्मराजेन धीमता
athāsau brāhmaṇo dṛṣṭvā svaṃ putraṃ gṛhamāgatam | sahitaṃ viprarūpeṇa dharmarājena dhīmatā
तेव्हा त्या ब्राह्मणाने आपला पुत्र घरी परत आलेला पाहिला; आणि विप्ररूप धारण केलेल्या धीमान धर्मराजासह आलेला पाहून तो विस्मयचकित झाला।
