अथ तोयेन शीतेन सेचयित्वा मुहुर्मुहुः । दत्त्वा भूयोऽपि वातं च यावच्चक्रे सचेतनाम् । तावत्कात्यायनी प्राप्ता मैत्रेयी च ससंभ्रमम्

Kemudian dia memercikkan air sejuk berulang-ulang, dan mengipasnya dengan angin sekali lagi, hingga dia sedar semula. Pada saat itu juga, Kātyāyanī tiba, dan Maitreyī pun datang dengan penuh cemas.
