ततः कदाचिद् बहुना कालेन नृपनन्दन । यजतो मम देवेशं यज्ञमूर्तिं जनार्दनम् । आहूता आगता देवाः सममेव सवासवाः ॥ ७०.४ ॥
tataḥ kadācid bahunā kālena nṛpanandana | yajato mama deveśaṁ yajñamūrtiṁ janārdanam | āhūtā āgatā devāḥ samam eva savāsavāḥ || 70.4 ||
Wtedy po pewnym czasie, o księciu, gdy składałem cześć Janārdanie - Panu bogów, którego sama postać jest ofiarą - bogowie wraz z Indrą, wezwani, przybyli wszyscy naraz.
