Translation
After conquering the world and after accepting Tura, the son of Kalaṣa, as his priest, Janamejaya will perform horse sacrifices, for which he will be known as Turaga-medhaṣāṭ. Tura is the name of the priest.
Janamejaya will conquer the world, accept Tura as priest, and perform aśvamedhas. Healthy grief eventually transmutes into constructive sacrifice rather than destructive vengeance.
