sanskrit

'Yayati replied, "Usinara's son, Sivi, had relinquished all his possessions to attain the realm of Brahman. Hence, he stands as the foremost among us. Moreover, Siva's generosity, asceticism, truthfulness, righteousness, humility, forgiveness, friendliness, and eagerness to perform virtuous deeds have been unparalleled, beyond measure."' ।। 1-88-18 ।।

sanskrit

'Yayati elaborates, "Generosity, ascetic practices, truth, righteousness, beauty, forgiveness, gentleness, and endurance—these unparalleled virtues resided in King Sivi, known for his compassion. Because he adhered to these virtues and his prohibition against harming others, Sivi ascended swiftly in his chariot."' ।। 1-88-19 ।।

'Vaisampayana narrated further, "Driven by curiosity, Ashtaka once more addressed his question to his grandfather, who was as glorious as Indra himself, inquiring, 'O sovereign, I beseech you to disclose the truth to me. From whence do you hail, who exactly are you, and of whom are you a progeny? On earth, is there any Brahmin or Kshatriya besides yourself who has accomplished what you have?"' ।। 1-88-20 ।।
