- Oh ! highly fortunate sage, this place abounds with many thousands of Brahmans who are experts in Vedic practises and who seem to be the dwellers of numerous provinces. - [1-50-3]
- The shelters of ascetics are thronged with hundreds of carts full with their ceremonial chattels. Oh ! Great ascetic let us choose a place where we can stay." [1-50-4]
