Verse 6.14.9

स यथा जगतां कोशे जीवतीह सुराश्चिरम् ।
चिरंजीवी तथा स्वर्गे न भूतो न भविष्यति ॥ ९ ॥

sa yathā jagatāṃ kośe jīvatīha surāściram |
ciraṃjīvī tathā svarge na bhūto na bhaviṣyati || 9 ||

There is no one in the womb of this world so long lived as he, nor even the gods in heaven, can boast a greater longevity than he among the feathered tribe; and it is doubtful whether there may be another as old as he in times to come.
