इमे च ते सूर्यसमानवर्चसः ।
समासते वृत्रहणः क्रतुं यथा।
नैषां ज्ञातुं विद्यते ज्ञानमद्य ।
दत्तं येभ्यो न प्रणश्येत्कदाचित् ॥ १.५५.८ ॥
These men, radiant as the sun, sit at your sacrifice as they sat at the sacrifice of the slayer of Vṛtra. Today their knowledge cannot be fully known; a gift given to them shall never be lost.

ऋत्विक्समो नास्ति लोकेषु चैव ।
द्वैपायनेनेति विनिश्चितं मे।
एतस्य शिष्या हि क्षितिं संचरन्ति ।
सर्वर्त्विजः कर्मसु स्वेषु दक्षाः ॥ १.५५.९ ॥
There is no priest equal to him in all the worlds; I know this for certain of Dvaipāyana. It is his disciples who move about the earth, and all the sacrificing priests are skilled in their own rites.

धृत्या च ते प्रतीमनाः सदाहं ।
त्वं वा वरुणो धर्मराजो यमो वा ॥ १.५५.११ ॥
In this world of the living there is no other king equal to you in protecting the subjects. With steadfastness I am always well-disposed toward you; you are either Varuṇa, the king of dharma, or Yama.

शक्रः साक्षाद्वज्रपाणिर्यथेह ।
त्राता लोकेऽस्मिंस्त्वं तथेह प्रजानाम्।
मतस्त्वं नः पुरुषेन्द्रेह लोके ।
न च त्वदन्यो भूपतिरस्ति जज्ञे ॥ १.५५.१२ ॥
Just as Śakra, Indra with the thunderbolt in hand, is himself the protector of this world, so are you the protector of the subjects here. O lord of men, in this world we regard you alone; no other lord of the earth has been born apart from you.
1.55.13
खट्वाङ्गनाभगदिलीपकल्प ।

वाल्मीकिवत्ते निभृतं स्ववीर्यं ।

प्रभुत्वमिन्द्रत्वसमं मतं मे ।
द्युतिश्च नारायणवद्विभाति ॥ १.५५.१४ ॥
Like Vālmīki, your own valour is restrained and hidden; like Vasiṣṭha, your anger is controlled; your sovereignty, I hold, equals Indra's lordship, and your radiance shines like Nārāyaṇa's.
1.55.15
यमो यथा धर्मविनिश्चयज्ञः ।
कृष्णो यथा सर्वगुणोपपन्नः।
श्रियां निवासोऽसि यथा वसूनां ।
निधानभूतोऽसि तथा क्रतूनाम् ॥ १.५५.१५ ॥
As Yama knows the determination of dharma, as Kṛṣṇa is endowed with every good quality, so you are the abode of fortune; as you are the treasury of the Vasus, so you are the treasury of sacrifices.
1.55.16
दम्भोद्भवेनासि समो बलेन ।
रामो यथा शस्त्रविदस्त्रविच्च।
और्वत्रिताभ्यामसि तुल्यतेजा ।
दुष्प्रेक्षणीयोऽसि भगीरथेन ॥ १.५५.१६ ॥
Like Dambhodbhava you are equal in strength; like Rāma, knower of weapons and of missiles, you are; with Aurva and Trita you are equal in brilliance; like Bhagīratha you are hard to behold.
1.55.17
एवं स्तुताः सर्व एव प्रसन्ना ।
राजा सदस्या ऋत्विजो हव्यवाहः।
तेषां दृष्ट्वा भावितानीङ्गितानि ।
प्रोवाच राजा जनमेजयोऽथ ॥ १.५५.१७ ॥
Thus praised, all were pleased — the king, the assembly, the priests and Havyavāhana, the fire. Seeing their inner feelings and gestures, then King Janamejaya spoke.
