अथ तस्या ययौ कालः सुप्रभूतः सुतं विना । ततो वैराग्यसंपन्ना सुतार्थं तपसि स्थिता
atha tasyā yayau kālaḥ suprabhūtaḥ sutaṃ vinā | tato vairāgyasaṃpannā sutārthaṃ tapasi sthitā
Kemudian berlalu masa yang sangat panjang baginya tanpa seorang putera. Lalu, dengan jiwa yang penuh vairāgya (ketidaklekatan), dia menegakkan tapa demi memperoleh zuriat.
