Pṛthu’s Earth-Milking, the Etymology of ‘Pṛthivī,’ and the Vaivasvata (Solar) Genealogy
ततोयोध्यां समागत्य समतिष्ठद्यथा पुरा । अथैकदा रथारूढ इलो निज सुतो मनोः
tatoyodhyāṃ samāgatya samatiṣṭhadyathā purā | athaikadā rathārūḍha ilo nija suto manoḥ
Rồi người ấy đến Ayodhyā và cư trú tại đó như thuở trước. Bấy giờ, có một lần, Ila—chính con trai của Manu—lên ngự trên chiến xa.
