इति निश्चित्य मनसा देवलो राजसत्तम । त्यक्त्वा गार्हस्थ्यधर्मं स मोक्षधर्ममरोचयत् ॥
English Translation
Meditating on this, Devala, O king, relinquished the life of a house-holder and adopted that of Moksha.
एवमादीनि संचिन्त्य देवलो निश्चयात्ततः । प्राप्तवान्परमां सिद्धिं परं योगं च भारत ॥
English Translation
Having thought thus, Devala, on account of this determination, acquired the highest success, O Bharata and the highest Yoga.
ततो देवाः समागम्य बृहस्पतिपुरोगमाः । जैगीषव्यं तपश्चास्य प्रशंसन्ति तपस्विनः ॥
English Translation

अथाब्रवीदृषिवरो देवान्वै नारदस्तदा । जैगीषव्ये तपो नास्ति विस्मापयति योऽसितम् ॥
English Translation
Then that best of ascetics, viz., Narada, said to the gods-"There is no penance in Jaigishavya since he filled Asita with wonder!'

English Translation

तत्राप्युपस्पृश्य ततो महात्मा; दत्त्वा च वित्तं हलभृद्द्विजेभ्यः । अवाप्य धर्मं परमार्यकर्मा; जगाम सोमस्य महत्स तीर्थम् ॥
English Translation
