मन्त्रपारायणपराः केचित् कृच्छ्रादिकारिणः |

अन्तर्यागपराः केचित् केचित् न्यासपरायणाः || २४ ||

mantra-pārāyaṇa-parāḥ kecit kṛcchrādi-kāriṇaḥ |

antaryāga-parāḥ kecit kecit nyāsa-parāyaṇāḥ || 24 ||

24. "Some were devoted to chanting mantras, or practicing severe austerities. Some were absorbed in mental sacrifices, and others implanted mystic powers in their bodies."

 

हृल्लेखया परा-शक्तेः पूजां चक्रुरतन्द्रिताः |

इत्येवं बहु-वर्षाणि कालो-गाज्-जनमेजय || २५ ||

hṛllekhayā parā-śakteḥ pūjāṃ cakrur-atandritāḥ |

ityevaṃ bahu-varṣāṇi kālogāj-janamejaya || 25 ||

25. "Unwearied, they worshiped the supreme Shakti with the mantra known as Hrillekha. Many year thus passed away, O Janamejaya."
