Having read the Vedas well and the other scriptures also, having governed his kingdom properly and made all the four orders follow their respective duties, the Hayagriva is sporting merrily in the regions of the celestials. Having gained many battles and cherished his subjects, having drunk the Soma juice in sacrifices and satisfied the foremost of Brahmanas with presents and judiciously held the rod of chastisement over those placed under his sway and at last sacrificed his life in battle, that king is living happily in heaven.
सम्यग् वेदान् प्राप्य शास्त्राण्यधीत्य सम्यग् राज्यं पालयित्वा महात्मा। चातुर्वर्ण्य स्थापयित्वा स्वधर्म वाजिग्रीवो मोदते देवलोके॥ जित्वा संग्रामान् पालयित्वा प्रजाश्च सोमं पीत्वा तर्पयित्वा द्विजाम्यान्। युक्त्या दण्डं धारयित्वा प्रजानां युद्धे क्षीणो मोदते देवलोके।॥
