There were many Brahmanas who were experts in the art of making sacrificial platforms and in the rules of Krama in sacrifice. There were many other learned in Nyaya, (Logic) and mental sciences; and many having complete knowledge of the Veda. There were those that were learned in the meanings of every kind of expressions, those that were experts in performing special rites, those that knew the Moksha-dharma. Those that were well-versed in establishing propositions, rejecting superfluous causes and were learned in the science of words, of prosody and of Nirukta, those that were learned in the science of Time (Astrology). In the properties of matter, in the fruits of sacrificial rites, those that possessed a knowledge of causes and effects, those that understood the languages of monkeys and birds and those that were wellread in all large treatises. And various Shastras. The king, as he proceeded, heard their incantations and chanting, which were capable of charming all human arts.
यज्ञसंस्कारविद्भिश्च क्रमशिक्षाविशारदैः। न्यायतत्त्वात्मविज्ञानसम्पन्नैर्वेदपारगैः॥ नानावाक्यसमाहारसमवायविशारदैः। विशेषकार्यविद्धिश्च मोक्षधर्मपरायणैः॥ स्थापनाक्षेपसिद्धान्तपरमार्थज्ञतां गतः। शब्दच्छन्दोनिरुक्तज्ञैः कालज्ञानविशारदैः॥ द्रव्यकर्मगुणज्ञैश्च कार्यकारणवेदिभिः। पक्षिवानररुतज्ञैश्च व्यासग्रन्थसमाश्रितैः॥ नानाशास्त्रेषु मुख्यैश्च शुश्राव स्वनमीरितम्। लोकायतिकमुख्यैश्च समन्तादनुनादितम्॥
