Verse 12

⁷Ringed about, at the middle of the circle of his eight long full arms, by a forest garland whose beauty vied with Sri's, the first Person looked on Barhismat's sons, who had come to him for refuge, with pity, and spoke to them in a voice like a raincloud's. ⁸Bhagavan said: Choose a boon, and good be with you. Sons of the king, your duty is not divided, since you are of one heart, and I am pleased with that friendship of yours. ⁹The man who calls you to mind day after day at the joinings of the day will hold his brothers as himself, and will be a friend to all beings. ¹⁰And to those who, gathered in themselves, praise me evening and morning with the song of Rudra, I will give the boons they want, and a fine understanding as well.

¹¹Since you took up your father's command gladly, a fame that people will love will follow you through the worlds. ¹²A son will be born to you, well known, in no quality less than Brahma, who will fill these three worlds by a strength of his own.
