Verse 37 (13.150.37)

सर्वाँल्लोकाननुचरन्महर्द्धिरवभासयन् । अथ पुण्यक्षयात्तस्मात्स्थाप्यते भुवि भारत । जायते च द्विजकुले वेदवेदाङ्गपारगे ॥

sarvām̐llokānanucaranmaharddhiravabhāsayan | atha puṇyakṣayāttasmātsthāpyate bhuvi bhārata | jāyate ca dvijakule vedavedāṅgapārage

Travelling through all the worlds, in great prosperity, giving light, he is at last, when that merit is spent, set back upon the earth, O Bharata, and is born into a Brahmin family learned in the Veda and its limbs.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension); the CE has it only as Appendix I No. 10, lines 13,098.022d@010_0354-0356 (printed after 13.98.22d). Wikisource prints lines 37a-c as one three-line verse (the third line, "जायते च द्विजकुले …", is CE line @010_0356). Removed the stray closing quote mark and the doubled danda after पारगे (।।'); the verse ends with ॥.
