एवं तत्र समुत्पन्नं प्रभासं वृद्धसंज्ञकम् । तत्रोक्षा ब्राह्मणे देयः सम्यग्यात्राफलेप्सुभिः
evaṃ tatra samutpannaṃ prabhāsaṃ vṛddhasaṃjñakam | tatrokṣā brāhmaṇe deyaḥ samyagyātrāphalepsubhiḥ
अशा रीतीने तेथे ‘वृद्ध’ संज्ञेचे प्रभास प्रकट झाले. ज्यांना यात्रेचे पूर्ण फळ हवे, त्यांनी तेथे ब्राह्मणाला बैल दान द्यावा.
