ततो महारहैस्ते सर्वे रत्नैरभ्यर्चिता: शुभै: । ब्राह्मणा मृष्टवसना: सुप्रीता: सम ततो5भवन्
tato mahārahais te sarve ratnair abhyarcitāḥ śubhaiḥ | brāhmaṇā mṛṣṭa-vasanāḥ suprītāḥ saṃ tataḥ abhavan |
پھر وہ سب برہمن مبارک اور نہایت قیمتی رتنوں سے معزز کیے گئے۔ پاکیزہ اور عمدہ لباس پہنے وہ نہایت خوش ہوئے اور پھر کامل اطمینان کی حالت میں آ گئے۔
