Sanskrit Original
ययातिरुवाच अददद् देवयानाय यावद् वित्तमविन्दता उशीनरस्य पुत्रोऽयं तस्माच्छ्रेष्ठो हि वः शिबिः॥ दानं तपः सत्यमथापि धर्मो ही: श्रीः क्षमा सौम्यमथो विधित्सा। राजन्नेतान्यप्रमेयाणि राज्ञः शिबेः स्थितान्यप्रतिमस्य बुद्ध्या॥ एवंवृत्तो ह्रीनिषेवश्च यस्मात् तस्माच्छिबिरत्यगाद् वै रथेन।
Yayati said : This son of Ushinara had given all he possessed to attain to the region of Brahma. Therefore, he is the foremost among all of you. Shibi's liberality, asceticism, truth, virtue, modesty, good fortune, forgiveness, amiability and desire of performing good acts, have been so great that none can measure them. The king Sibi is crowned with righteousness and is bashful, therefore he is foremost among all of us.
