Mandyavya said: From the manner in which birds and beasts are sending forth their voices in the still atmosphere and since you have regained your sight making you useful for worldly purposes, it is sure that Satyavana lives.
आपस्तम्ब उवाच यथा वदन्ति शान्तायां दिशि वै मृगपक्षिणः। पार्थिवी च प्रवृत्तिस्ते तथा जीवति सत्यवान्॥
