तुष्ठवुः पुष्पवृष्टी क्ष ससृजुस्तस्य मूर्थनि । तत्र तत्र च विप्रेन्द्रै: स््तूयमान: समन््ततः
tuṣṭuvuḥ puṣpavṛṣṭīś ca sasṛjus tasya mūrdhani | tatra tatra ca viprendrāḥ stūyamānaḥ samantataḥ ||
انہوں نے اس کی مدح کی اور اس کے سر پر پھولوں کی بارش کی۔ اور جگہ جگہ کھڑے برہمنوں کے سردار بھی ہر سمت سے اس کی تعریف و توصیف کرتے رہے۔
