मन्त्रपूतैर्महाभागैरास्थितो हि महाक्रतुः। तद् गच्छथ विचिन्वध्वं पुत्रका भद्रमस्तु वः॥ समुद्रमालिनी सर्वां पृथिवीमनुगच्छथ। एकैकं योजनं पुत्रा विस्तारमभिगच्छत॥ यावद् तुरगसंदर्शस्तावत् खनत मेदिनीम्। तमेव हयहर्तारं मार्गमाणा ममाज्ञया॥

English Meaning
Therefore, repair you, and seek for the horse, you sons. Good betide you! Do you search the entire earth engarlanded with oceans; and do you search Yojana after Yojana, you sons. And do you delve the earth till you light upon the horse, by my command following the track of that stealer of the horse.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
