इक्ष्वाकूणां हि सर्वेषां पुरोधाः परमा गतिः । तस्मादनंतरं सर्वे भवन्तो दैवतं मम ॥ १-५७-२२
- The Priest is the ultimate recourse for all of the kings in Ikshvaku dynasty, isn't it. Therefore, next to Vashishta you are all the next-best gods to me.' Thus Trishanku entreated the hundred sons of Sage Vashishta. ( Sage Shataananda thus continued narration. ) ॥ 1-57-22॥
