तस्य तदू् वचन श्रुत्वा पूजयन्त: पुनः पुनः । बाढमित्येव ते सर्वे प्रत्यूचु: सूतजं तदा,कर्णकी यह बात सुनकर सबने बार-बार उसकी सराहना की और कर्णकी बातके उत्तरमें सबके मुखसे यही निकला--“बहुत अच्छा, बहुत अच्छा”
tasya tad vacanaṁ śrutvā pūjayantaḥ punaḥ punaḥ | bāḍham ity eva te sarve pratyūcuḥ sūtajaṁ tadā ||
Ao ouvirem suas palavras, honraram-no repetidas vezes. Então todos responderam ao filho do cocheiro, dizendo apenas: «Assim seja — de fato, muito bem».
