āhukasya bhṛtiṃ prāptā ityetadvai taducyate //

> "He always lived equipped with an army of armoured chariots, with banners flying over them. His army consisted of ten thousand chariots thundering like the clouds. He was never untruthful, never lustreless, never remained without performing sacrifices and never gave less than a thousand in charity. He was never impure, never ignorant of learning. Such was Âhuka, born in the Bhoja family, and after him Âhuka and other clans came to be known."—67-69.
