That might-armed hero heard from the highsouled Kapila how his anccstors had met with their fearful destruction and how they had not been able to go to heaven. That king sorrowfully made over his kingly duties to his ministers and that ruler of men then went to the side of the Himalayas for practising asceticism.
स शुश्राव महाबाहुः कपिलेन महात्मना। पितृणां निधनं घोरमप्राप्तिं त्रिदिवस्य च॥ स राज्यं सचिवे न्यस्य हृदयेन विदूयता। जगाम हिमवत्पाद्यं तपस्तप्तुं नरेश्वरः॥
