Shiva said: Then the pious king offered a place to stay for the vipra. When the vipra was
staying there one day an assembly was convened by the king.
Sages like Vasishtha etc and kings arrived. Subahu, Dandaka, Shalya, Chitraketu, Videhaja (son
of Janaka, the king of Mithila), Virabahu, Sushena, Nrika, Suhlada, Korana, Ratnagriva,
Riputapa, Padmaksha, and Simhagarjana. The four ministers Harshana etc also arrived there.
Harshana, Bharata, Shalvara and the learned Ashwajangha.
The pleasant assembly (of the great sages and powerful kings) was convened by the king in
the month of Margasirsha, on the fifth day of the dark fortnight when Moon was in the
Pushya constellation and Jupiter was in Capricorn in the ascendant.
Then the king Kirtidhwaja summoned the son of Sumati in the assembly delightedly. Sujanma
arrived there.
The intelligent king, after seeing Sujanma, the knower of dharma, the son of Sumati, having
arrived, folded hands and spoke the following to him.
The king said: Salutations to you, O king of the dwijas! Salutations to you, O the one who
knows about the karmas of previous births! O Saumateya! O the one who is everything! O the
one who knows everything! Salutations to you.
