Yayati said I am the royal Rishi Yayati and the religious merit acquired by me being spent up have been turned out from heaven; and wishing in my mind that I should fall among the good, I have fallen among you.
ययातिरुवाच ययातिरस्मि राजर्षिः क्षीणपुण्यश्च्युतो दिवः। पतेयं सत्स्विति ध्यायन् भवत्सु पतितस्ततः॥
