Coming to Brahma seated (on his throne), he spoke to him thus, King Svetaki satisfied me by his sacrifice. O lord of the universe, I am reduced both in splendour and strength. I desire to regain my own permanent nature through your grade."
तत्र ब्रह्माणमासीनमिदं वचनमब्रवीत्। भगवन् परमा प्रीतिः कृता मे श्वेतकेतुना॥ अरुचिश्चाभवत् तीव्रा तां न शक्नोभ्यपोहितुम्। तेजसा विप्रहीणोऽस्मि बलेन च जगत्पते॥ इच्छेय त्वत्प्रसादेन स्वात्मनः प्रकृति स्थिराम्।
