दुःश्रद्दधं तद्भवि लोकनाथ दहरस्य पुत्रा इमि एवरूपाः ॥ ४९ ॥
valīhi palitehi ca te upetā eṣo ca no dehakaro ti brūyuḥ |

And the latter, covered with wrinkles and grey-haired, declared the (young) man to be their father. But such (a young man) never having sons of such appearance, it would be difficult to believe, O Lord of the world, that they were sons to so young a man.
