tataḥ kālena mahatā saṃprāpya caramaṃ vayaḥ /
cakre 'bhiṣekaṃ putrasya tasya rajye ṛtadhvajaḥ //

Jaḍa spoke:
Being thus instructed by bis mother, Ṛtadhvaja’s son attained his youth and duly married a wife, and begat sons, and as a lord offered sacrifices, and always closely observed bis father’s commands. Then after a long time Ṛtadhvaja, on reaching extreme old age, anointed his son in the sovereignty, and with righteous soul desirous to depart to the forest to practise austerities in company with his wife descended from his throne, a mighty protector, an illustrious king.
