ततश्च लब्धसंस्कारौ द्विजत्वं प्राप्य सुव्रतौ ।

गर्गाद्यदुकुलाचार्याद्गायत्रं व्रतमास्थितौ ॥
 

Then, receiving the sacraments and

attaining to the state of the twice-born,

Rama and Krishna, who observed the

vows well, received initiation into the

meditation of the Gayatri from Garga, the

preceptor of the Yadus.
 

 
प्रभवोवौ सर्वविद्यानां सर्वज्ञौ जगदीश्वरौ ।

अथो गुरुकुले वासमिच्छन्तावुपजग्मतुः ।

काइश्यं सान्दीपनिनिं नाम ह्यवन्तिपुरवासिनम् ॥
 

Rama and Krishna, the Lords of the

universe, omniscient and the source of

all lores, then desired to study under a

preceptor and approached Sandipani of

the line of Kasyapa, living in the city of

Avanti.
 

 
सर्व निगदमात्रेण तौ सञ्जगृहतुः [नृप] ॥
 

They imbibed everything on a single

utterance by the preceptor.
