पा॒र्श्वे आ॑स्ता॒मनु॑मत्या॒ भग॑स्यास्तामनू॒वृजौ॑ । अ॒ष्ठी॒वन्ता॑वब्रवीन्मि॒त्रो ममै॒तौ केव॑ला॒विति॑

pārśvé āstām ánumatyā bhágasyāstām anūvŕjau | aṣṭhī́vantāv abravīn mitró mámaitáu kévalāv íti ||

At the flanks were set Anumati; of Bhaga were set the two adjacent parts, firm with bone. Mitra spake: ‘These twain are mine alone.’

ที่สีข้างได้ตั้งอนุมติ (Anumati) ไว้; ส่วนของภคะ (Bhaga) ได้ตั้งส่วนที่อยู่ชิดกันทั้งสองไว้ มีกระดูกแน่นมั่นคง. มิทรา (Mitra) กล่าวว่า “สองสิ่งนี้เป็นของเราแต่ผู้เดียว”
