Sanskrit Original
सत्रमारेभिरे कर्त्तुं पृथ्वीवत्सा त्ममूर्तयः। बभूव सत्रे तेषां तु ब्रह्मचर्यं महात्मनाम।।
satramārebhire karttuṃ pṛthvīvatsā tmamūrtayaḥ| babhūva satre teṣāṃ tu brahmacaryaṃ mahātmanām||
Āyus, the righteous ruler of the earth whom they call the noble-souled father of Nahuṣa, obtained a high priority among those who got purificatory bath in the principal sacrifice of that sacrificial session. Having pacified the King that way, the sages, the knowers of Brahman, who themselves were the mūrtis (idols) of the calves of the cow in the form of the earth (?), began to perform the sacrificial session. In this sattra, the noble-souled ones observed celibacy.
