Pṛthu’s Earth-Milking, the Etymology of ‘Pṛthivī,’ and the Vaivasvata (Solar) Genealogy
ततोयोध्यां समागत्य समतिष्ठद्यथा पुरा । अथैकदा रथारूढ इलो निज सुतो मनोः
tatoyodhyāṃ samāgatya samatiṣṭhadyathā purā | athaikadā rathārūḍha ilo nija suto manoḥ
అనంతరం అతడు అయోధ్యకు వచ్చి పూర్వంలాగానే అక్కడ నివసించాడు. తరువాత ఒకనాడు మనువు యొక్క స్వపుత్రుడు ఇల రథారూఢుడయ్యాడు.
