सहः सहस्य एतेषामुत्तमः कीर्तिवर्द्धनः । भानवस्तत्र देवाः स्युरूर्जाः सप्तर्षयः स्मृताः
sahaḥ sahasya eteṣāmuttamaḥ kīrtivarddhanaḥ | bhānavastatra devāḥ syurūrjāḥ saptarṣayaḥ smṛtāḥ
ในหมู่พวกนั้น สหะ—ผู้บังเกิดจากสหัส—เป็นผู้ประเสริฐยิ่งและผู้เพิ่มพูนเกียรติยศ ในบริบทนั้น ภานวะทั้งหลายกล่าวว่าเป็นเหล่าเทวะ และอูรชะทั้งหลายถูกจดจำว่าเป็นฤๅษีทั้งเจ็ด
