स्वागतं वो महाभागा: स्वागतं वो महारथा: । तुष्यामि दर्शनाच्चाहं युष्माकममरोपमा:,“महाभाग नरेशगण! आपलोगोंका स्वागत है। देवोपम महारथियो! आपका स्वागत है। मैं आपलोगोंके दर्शनसे बहुत संतुष्ट हूँ
svāgataṃ vo mahābhāgāḥ svāgataṃ vo mahārathāḥ | tuṣyāmi darśanāc cāhaṃ yuṣmākam amaropamāḥ ||
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ମହାଭାଗ୍ୟବାନମାନେ, ଆପଣମାନଙ୍କୁ ସ୍ୱାଗତ; ମହାରଥମାନେ, ଆପଣମାନଙ୍କୁ ସ୍ୱାଗତ। ଦେବସମ ପରାକ୍ରମୀମାନେ, ଆପଣମାନଙ୍କ ଦର୍ଶନରେ ମୁଁ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ତୃପ୍ତ ହେଲି।
