Sanskrit Text

अष्टचक्रं हि तद्यानं भूतयुक्तं मनोरमम् तत्राद्यौ लोकनाथौ तौ कृशौ धमनिसंततौ

English Translation

Each of those cars had eight wheels, and was made up of the five primal elements, and supremely beautiful. Those original regents of the world who had taken birth as the sons of Dharma, became extremely emaciated in body on account of the austerities they practised. Indeed, for those austerities and for their energy, the very gods were unable to look at them. Only that god to whom they were kind could see them.
