अथ यातेषु बहुषु वर्षेषु जरसा वृते ।
शिखिध्वजे महाशैलतटकोटरवासिनि ॥ २१ ॥

atha yāteṣu bahuṣu varṣeṣu jarasā vṛte |
śikhidhvaje mahāśailataṭakoṭaravāsini || 21 ||

Many more years elapsed in this manner, until the hermit prince Sikhidvaja was overtaken by the hoary old age; in his holy hermitage in a cell of the great Mandara mountain.
