namo'stu vanadevībhyāmityuktvā kusumāñjalim |
tatyāja jyeṣṭhaśarmātha sārdhaṃ gṛhajanena saḥ || 18 ||

On seeing them, the whole family with Jyeshtha Sarma (the eldest boy of the deceased Brahman), cried aloud and said, “Obeisance to the sylvan goddesses,”and threw handfuls of flowers on their feet.
