Pṛthu’s Earth-Milking, the Etymology of ‘Pṛthivī,’ and the Vaivasvata (Solar) Genealogy
ततोयोध्यां समागत्य समतिष्ठद्यथा पुरा । अथैकदा रथारूढ इलो निज सुतो मनोः
tatoyodhyāṃ samāgatya samatiṣṭhadyathā purā | athaikadā rathārūḍha ilo nija suto manoḥ
Kemudian baginda tiba di Ayodhyā lalu menetap di sana seperti sediakala. Pada suatu ketika, Ila—putera kandung Manu—menaiki rata.
