Indra said: O king, O son of Nahusha, O Yayati, after accomplishing all your duties, you went to the forest, leaving your home. I ask you, tell me like whom you are in ascetic merits.
इन्द्र उवाच सर्वाणि कर्माणि समाप्य राजन् गृहं परित्यज्य वनं गतोऽसि। तत् त्वां पृच्छामि नहुषस्य पुत्र केनासि तुल्यस्तपसा ययाते॥
