Then King Uttānapāda, being very eager to see the face of his lost son, mounted a chariot drawn by excellent horses and bedecked with golden filigree. Taking with him many learned brāhmaṇas, all the elderly personalities of his family, his officers, his ministers and his immediate friends, he immediately left the city. As he proceeded in this parade, there were auspicious sounds of conchshells, kettledrums, flutes, and the chanting of Vedic mantras to indicate all good fortune.

El rey Uttānapāda, ansioso por ver el rostro del hijo que había perdido, montó en una cuadriga tirada por magníficos caballos y adornada con filigrana de oro. Llevando consigo a muchos brāhmaṇas eruditos, a las personas mayores de su familia, a sus oficiales, ministros y amigos más allegados, salió de la ciudad sin perder un instante. Al paso del desfile se escuchaban auspiciosos sonidos de caracolas, timbales, flautas, y el canto de mantras védicos que indicaban toda buena fortuna.
