तस्यार्बुद इति ख्पातो वयस्यः परमं प्रियः । नागः प्राणभृतां श्रेष्ठः खेचरोऽपि च वीर्यवान्
tasyārbuda iti khpāto vayasyaḥ paramaṃ priyaḥ | nāgaḥ prāṇabhṛtāṃ śreṣṭhaḥ khecaro'pi ca vīryavān
ਉਸ ਦਾ ਅਰਬੁਦ ਨਾਮ ਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਸਿੱਧ ਸਾਥੀ ਹੈ, ਜੋ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਅਤਿ ਪ੍ਰਿਯ ਹੈ—ਇੱਕ ਨਾਗ, ਪ੍ਰਾਣਧਾਰੀਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਸ਼੍ਰੇਸ਼ਠ, ਅਤੇ ਆਕਾਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਗਮਨ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਾ, ਮਹਾਨ ਪਰਾਕ੍ਰਮ ਨਾਲ ਯੁਕਤ।
