Shloka 15
यथा यथा हि जल्पन्ति दौहित्रास्तं नराधिपम् । तथा तथा वसुमतीं त्यक्त्वा राजा दिवं ययौ,ययातिके दौहित्र जैसे-जैसे उनके प्रति उपर्युक्त बातें कहते थे, वैसे-ही-वैसे वे महाराज इस भूतलको छोड़ते हुए स्वर्गलोककी ओर बढ़ते चले गये थे
yathā yathā hi jalpanti dauhitrās taṃ narādhipam | tathā tathā vasumatīṃ tyaktvā rājā divaṃ yayau ||
