चन्द्रमास्तु सहस्राणि राजन्नेकादश स्मृतः॥ विष्कम्भेण कुरुश्रेष्ठ त्रयस्त्रिंशत् तु मण्डलम्। एकोनषष्टिविष्कम्भं शीतरश्मेर्महात्मनः॥ सूर्यस्त्वष्टौ सहस्राणि द्वे चान्ये कुरुनन्दन। विष्कम्भेण ततो राजन् मण्डलं त्रिंशता समम्॥ अष्टपञ्चाशतं राजन् विपुलत्वेन चानघ। श्रूयते परमोदारः पतगोऽसौ विभावसुः॥ एतत् प्रमाणमर्कस्य निर्दिष्टमिह भारत।
