Verse 43.30

एष चैव मृगः श्रीमान् यश्च दिव्यो नभश्चरः। उभावेतौ मृगौ दिव्यौ तारामृगमहीमृगौ॥

English Meaning

Truly handsome in this deer and the one that range in the welkin, indeed these two deer only are celestial—the one that range in the sky* (Mrgasirā) and this that range on earth. This refers to Mrgaşiră, the fifth lunar constellation which resembles a deer.
