न इमां दिशां मनुष्यो अमनुष्यो वापि क्वचिद् आगम्य ।
न पि दृष्ट्वा ऋषिकुमारं मृगपक्षिगणा भयं एन्ति ॥ ६५ ॥

na imāṃ diśāṃ manuṣyo amanuṣyo vāpi kvacid āgamya |
na pi dṛṣṭvā ṛṣikumāraṃ mṛgapakṣigaṇā bhayaṃ enti || 65 ||

For no human or demon ever came anywhere to these regions. And the crowds of beasts and birds were never struck with fear when they saw the young seer. (65)
