एवं तत्र समुत्पन्नं प्रभासं वृद्धसंज्ञकम् । तत्रोक्षा ब्राह्मणे देयः सम्यग्यात्राफलेप्सुभिः
evaṃ tatra samutpannaṃ prabhāsaṃ vṛddhasaṃjñakam | tatrokṣā brāhmaṇe deyaḥ samyagyātrāphalepsubhiḥ
یوں وہاں ‘وِردھ’ کے نام سے معروف پربھاس ظاہر ہوا؛ اور جو یاترا کا پورا پھل چاہتے ہیں، انہیں وہاں کسی برہمن کو ایک بیل دان کرنا چاہیے۔
