satāṃ sakāśe tu vṛtaḥ prapātaste saṃgatā guṇavantaśca sarve |
śakrācca labdho hi varo mayaiṣa patiṣyatā bhūmitale narendra || 7 ||

"Yayati said, 'Fallen from heaven upon the loss of all my religious merits, I am doomed to enter the Earth-hell. Indeed, I shall go there after I have finished my discourse with you. Even now the regents of the points of the universe command me to hasten thither. And, O king, I have obtained it as a boon from Indra that though fall I must upon the earth, yet I should fall amidst the wise and the virtuous. Ye are all wise and virtuous that are assembled here.'
