ततः प्रणम्य दैत्यारिं व्यासं च जननीं तथा । प्रस्थितो वनवासाय तत्क्षणाद्व्यासनंदनः
tataḥ praṇamya daityāriṃ vyāsaṃ ca jananīṃ tathā | prasthito vanavāsāya tatkṣaṇādvyāsanaṃdanaḥ
తర్వాత దైత్యారిని అయిన భగవంతునికి, వ్యాసునికి, అలాగే తన జననికి నమస్కరించి, వ్యాసనందనుడు ఆ క్షణమే వనవాసం—వైరాగ్యజీవితం—కొరకు బయలుదేరెను।
