Śuka’s Ocean Voyage: Adverse Winds, Arrival at a Viṣṇu Shrine, and Aid from the Jaṭāyu Birds
प्रसाद्य सर्वे सम्पूज्य प्रेषितास्ते गृहं ययुः ॥ एवं ते न्यवसंस्तत्र यावत्त्कालं सुखेन तु
prasādya sarve sampūjya preṣitāste gṛhaṃ yayuḥ || evaṃ te nyavasaṃstatra yāvattkālaṃ sukhena tu
అందరినీ ప్రసన్నుల్ని చేసి, యథావిధిగా సత్కరించి వారిని పంపివేశారు; వారు తమ ఇళ్లకు వెళ్లారు. ఈ విధంగా వారు అక్కడ ఉన్నంతకాలం సుఖంగా నివసించారు.
