Adhyaya 79 — The Vaivasvata Manvantara: Classes of Devas, the Seven Sages, and Manu’s Nine Sons
मघवन्तो वृषाः सर्वे शृङ्गिणो गजगामिनः ।
ते शतक्रतवः सर्वे भूताभिभवतेजसः ॥
maghavanto vṛṣāḥ sarve śṛṅgiṇo gaja-gāminaḥ | te śatakratavaḥ sarve bhūtābhibhava-tejasaḥ ||
Tất cả đều là Maghavan—mạnh mẽ như bò đực, có sừng, bước đi với dáng voi. Tất cả đều là Śatakratu, sở hữu quang huy chế ngự muôn loài.
