लोमश उवाच
स चकार तथा सर्वं राजा राजीवलोचनः ॥
पुनश् च लेभे लोकान् स्वान् कर्मणा निर्जिताञ् शुभान् ॥
सह तेनैव विप्रेण गुरुणा स गुरुप्रियः ॥
एष तस्याश्रमः पुण्यो य एषो ऽग्रे विराजते ॥
क्षान्त उष्यात्र षड्रात्रं प्राप्नोति सुगतिं नरः ॥
एतस्मिन्न् अपि राजेन्द्र वत्स्यामो विगतज्वराः ॥
षड्रात्रं नियतात्मानः सज्जीभव कुरूद्वह ॥

sa cakāra tathā sarvaṃ rājā rājīvalocanaḥ ||
punaś ca lebhe lokān svān karmaṇā nirjitāñ śubhān ||
saha tenaiva vipreṇa guruṇā sa gurupriyaḥ ||
eṣa tasyāśramaḥ puṇyo ya eṣo 'gre virājate ||
kṣānta uṣyātra ṣaḍrātraṃ prāpnoti sugatiṃ naraḥ ||
etasminn api rājendra vatsyāmo vigatajvarāḥ ||
ṣaḍrātraṃ niyatātmānaḥ sajjībhava kurūdvaha ||
Lomasha said: 'The lotus-eyed king did everything just so. Then he regained his own blessed worlds, won by his deeds, together with that brahmin guru, for he loved his guru. Here his holy hermitage shines before us. A patient man, having dwelt here six nights, attains the good path. And we too, O king, will dwell here without anxiety for six nights, having mastered ourselves. Prepare yourself, descendant of Kuru.'
