व्यञ्जिताशेषगात्रश्रीर्नियमे न्यस्तभूषणः । कृष्णाजिनधरः श्रीमान् कुशपाणिः कृतोचितः ।। ४-२१-१८ ।।

sanskrit

As Mahārāja Pṛthu was being initiated to perform the sacrifice, he had to leave aside his valuable dress, and therefore his natural bodily beauty was visible. It was very pleasing to see him put on a black deerskin and wear a ring of kuśa grass on his finger, for this increased the natural beauty of his body. It appears that Mahārāja Pṛthu observed all the regulative principles before he performed the sacrifice. ।। 4-21-18 ।।

english translation

चूँकि महाराज को यज्ञ सम्पन्न करने के लिए दीक्षित किया जा रहा था, अत: उन्हें अपने बहुमूल्य वस्त्र उतारने पड़े थे, जिससे उनका प्राकृतिक शारीरिक सौन्दर्य दृष्टिगोचर हो रहा था। उन्हें काला मृग चर्म पहने तथा उँगली में कुश-वलय (पैती) पहने देखकर अच्छा लग रहा था, क्योंकि इससे उनकी शारीरिक कान्ति बढ़ गई थी। ऐसा प्रतीत होता है कि यज्ञ के पूर्व महाराज पृथु समस्त विधि-सम्मत कृत्य सम्पन्न कर चुके थे। ।। ४-२१-१८ ।।
