Both of them, seeing the energy of the son of the great twice-born Rishi, became filled with wonder. And they said,-Wonderful is this concentration of attention of a twice-born youth who was accustomed to the recitation and study of the Vedas! Soon will he pass through the entire sky like the Moon. It was by dutiful service and humble ministrations towards his father that he gained this excellent understanding.
तस्य ब्रह्मर्षि पुत्रस्य विस्मयं ययतुः परम्। अहो बुद्धिसमाधानं वेदाभ्यासरते द्विजे॥ अचिरेणैव कालेन नभश्चरति चन्द्रवत्। पितृशुश्रूषया बुद्धिं सम्प्राप्तोऽयमनुत्तमाम्॥
