अहमामन्त्रये सर्वान् महर्षीन् पुण्यकर्मणः। यज्ञसाह्यकरान् राजंस्ततो यक्ष्यसि निर्वृतः॥ गुरुशापकृतं रूपं यदिदं त्वयि वर्तते। अनेन सह रूपेण सशरीरो गमिष्यसि॥ हस्तप्राप्तमहं मन्ये स्वर्ग तव नराधिप। यस्त्वं कौशिकमागम्य शरण्यं शरणागतः॥
ahamāmantraye sarvān maharṣīn puṇyakarmaṇaḥ| yajñasāhyakarān rājaṃstato yakṣyasi nirvṛtaḥ|| guruśāpakṛtaṃ rūpaṃ yadidaṃ tvayi vartate| anena saha rūpeṇa saśarīro gamiṣyasi|| hastaprāptamahaṃ manye svarga tava narādhipa| yastvaṃ kauśikamāgamya śaraṇyaṃ śaraṇāgataḥ||
English Meaning
I shall summon all the pious Maharsis, who shall assist at the sacrifice. O king, and then you will be able to accomplish your purpose easily. And should the guise you have come by in virtue of your preceptor's curse, cling to you yet, you will bodily repair to heaven in this form. And since appearing before Kuśika's son, you have taken his refuge, I consider heaven, O lord of men, as if within they grasp.
