ऊचुश्च ते महात्मानो हर्षेण महता वृताः । उपपन्नं नरश्रेष्ठ तवैव भुवि नान्यतः ॥ 7-60-16 ॥
And those great-souled ones, filled with great joy, said: "This is fitting for you alone upon the earth, O best of men, and for none other."
english translation
बहवः पार्थिवा राजन्नतिक्रान्ता महाबलाः । कार्यस्य गौरवं मत्वा प्रतिज्ञां नाभ्यरोचयन् ॥ 7-60-17 ॥
"Many mighty kings before you, O king, have passed away, for, weighing the gravity of the task, they did not consent to such a vow."
english translation
त्वया पुनर्ब्राह्मणगौरवादियं कृता प्रतिज्ञा ह्यनवेक्ष्य कारणम् । ततश्च कर्ता ह्यसि नात्र संशयो महाभयात्ऺत्रातुमृषींस्त्वमर्हसि ॥ 7-60-18 ॥
"But you, out of reverence for the brahmins, have made this vow without considering the cause; therefore you will surely accomplish it, of this there is no doubt. You are worthy to deliver the sages from this great peril."
