O king, having been thus consoled by the prince of the Nishadhas, Pushkara then, with folded hands, saluted and answered that virtuous prince, saying, “O prince, let your fame be immortal; and do you live at peace for hundred years, for you have give to me both life and shelter."
सान्त्वितो नैषाधेनैवं पुष्करं प्रत्युवाच तम्। पुण्यश्लोकं तदा राजन्नभिवाद्य कृताञ्जलिः॥ कीर्तिरस्तु तवाक्षय्या जीव वर्षशतं सुखी। यो मे वितरसि प्राणानधिष्ठानं च पार्थिव॥
