And O child, complete the sacrifice of the illustrious Sagara.” Having been thus addressed by the illustrious Kapila, Anshuman, the highsouled one, taking the horse, came to (the sacrificial ground (of Sagara). Then saluting the feet of the illustrious Sagara who smelt his head, he told him all that had been seen and heard by him and all about the destruction of the sons of Sagara. (He also told him) that the horse had been brought to the sacrificial ground; Having heard this, the king Sagara no more grieved for his sons.
यज्ञः समाप्यतां तात सगरस्य महात्मनः। अंशुमानवमुक्तस्तु कपिलेन महात्मना॥ आजगाम हयं गृह्य यज्ञवाटं महात्मनः। सोऽभिवाद्य ततः पादौ सगरस्य महात्मनः॥ मूर्ध्नि तेनाप्युपाघ्रातस्तस्मै सर्वं न्यवेदयत्। यथा दृष्टं श्रुतं चापि सागराणां क्षयं तथा॥ तं चास्मै हयमाचष्ट यज्ञवाटमुपागतम्। तच्छ्रुत्वा सगरो राजा पुत्रजं दुःखमत्यजत्॥
