जातो पादानि सप्त क्रमेसि दशशतरस्मिसगोत्र तं प्रियं मे ॥ ६ ॥
yaṃ ca prakampayanto vasudhāṃ jāyesi bahujanahitāya |

Glad am I, O kinsman of the sun, that thou madest the earth to tremble when thou wast born for the sake of the welfare of men, and that after being born thou didst take seven strides. (6)
