तेनैव सहितः पश्चात्स्वगृहं पुनरागतः । व्यासः प्रतिभुवं तस्मै दातुं विष्णुं निरंजनम्
tenaiva sahitaḥ paścātsvagṛhaṃ punarāgataḥ | vyāsaḥ pratibhuvaṃ tasmai dātuṃ viṣṇuṃ niraṃjanam
Sesudah itu, ditemani oleh-Nya, Vyāsa kembali ke kediamannya, untuk memberikan kepada makhluk itu Viṣṇu—Tuhan Yang Suci tanpa noda—sebagai penjamin yang dijanjikan.
