Sanskrit: इमां च दुःस्वप्नगतिं निशम्य हि त्वनेकरूपामवितर्कितां पुरा। भयं महत्वद् हृदयान याति मे विचिन्त्य राजानमचिन्त्यदर्शनम्॥
English: Bringing to mind this various-looking dream which I had not thought of before, and remembering the king of incomprehensible presence, this fear goes not from my heart.
Sanskrit: स प्राङ्मुखो राजगृहादभिनिर्याय वीर्यवान्। ततः सुदामां द्युतिमान् संतीर्यावेक्ष्य तां नदीम्॥ ह्रादिनी दूरपारं च प्रत्यक्स्रोतस्तरङ्गिणीम्। शतद्रुमतरच्छीमान् नदीमिक्ष्वाकुनन्दनः॥
English: Issuing from the palace, the blazing Bharata endowed with prowess went in an easterly direction, and seeing before him the river called Sudāmā, crossed it. Then the auspicious descendant of Iksvāku crossed the broad Hrādinſ coursing westwards, as also the river Satadru.
