Translation

Nābhāga’s father continued: “Go to those great souls and describe two Vedic hymns pertaining to Vaiśvadeva. When the great sages have completed the sacrifice and are going to the heavenly planets, they will give you the remnants of the money they have received from the sacrifice. Therefore, go there immediately.” Thus Nābhāga acted exactly according to the advice of his father, and the great sages of the Aṅgirā dynasty gave him all their wealth and then went to the heavenly planets.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Go to those great souls and recite two Vedic hymns pertaining to Vaiśvadeva. When the great sages have completed the sacrifice and are going to Svarga, they will give you the remnants of the money they have received from the sacrifice. Therefore, go there immediately." Nābhāga, did as his father advised. The great sages of the Aṅgirā dynasty gave him all their wealth and then went to Svarga. Recite the two verses idam itthaṁ raudram and ye yajṣena dakṣinayā. Svar yantaḥ means “going to Svarga.” The last sentence is Śukadeva’s statement.
