स्थापितस्स तु शक्रेण लब्धवर्चास्त्रिविष्टपे । माद्रवत्यां तु जनितावश्विनाविति नः श्रुतम्
sthāpitassa tu śakreṇa labdhavarcāstriviṣṭape | mādravatyāṃ tu janitāvaśvināviti naḥ śrutam
Ngunit siya’y itinalaga ni Śakra (Indra) sa Triviṣṭapa (langit), matapos muling makamtan ang kanyang ningning. At narinig namin na ang mga Aśvin ay isinilang kay Mādravatī.
