Adhyāya 32: Rājasūya-Dīkṣā and Appointment of Court Offices (राजसूयदीक्षा तथा अधिकारविनियोगः)
ततो बहुधनं रम्यं गवाढ्यं धनधान्यवत् | कार्तिकेयस्य दयितं रोहीतकमुपाद्रवत्,जाते-जाते वे बहुत धन-धान्यसे सम्पन्न, गौओंकी बहुलतासे युक्त तथा स्वामिकार्तिकेयके अत्यन्त प्रिय रमणीय रोहीतक- पर्वत एवं उसके समीपवर्ती देशमें जा पहुँचे
tato bahudhanaṃ ramyaṃ gavāḍhyaṃ dhanadhānyavat | kārtikeyasya dayitaṃ rohītakam upādravat |
Pagkaraan, narating nila ang Rohītaka—isang napakagandang lupain, sagana sa yaman, hitik sa mga baka, at may sapat na butil at mga panustos—na minamahal ni Panginoong Kārtikeya.
