Maṇḍala, verse, line, san 1,179,6

agástiyaḥ khánamānaḥ khanítraiḥ prajā́m ápatyam bálam ichámānaḥ |
ubhaú várṇāv ŕ̥ṣir ugráḥ pupoṣa satyā́ devéṣu āśíṣo jagāma ||

Tr. eng, Ralph T. H. Griffiths 1889, verse, line

6 Agastya thus, toiling with strong endeavour, wishing for children, progeny and power, Cherished—a sage of mighty strength—both classes, and with the Gods obtained his prayer's fulfilment. ¹

1. By 'both classes' probably priests and princes, or institutors of sacrifices, are meant. M. Bergaigne understands the expression to mean the two forms or essences of Soma, the celestial and the terrestrial.
