"O illustrious one, O chief of the celestial, O god of gods, if you are pleased with me, assist me then in my sacrifices.” Having heard these words of the king, the deity was pleased and smilingly replied,
प्रणिपत्य महात्मानं राजर्षिः प्रत्यभाषत। यदि मे भगवान् प्रीतः सर्वलोकनमस्कृतः॥ स्वयं मां देवदेवेश याजयस्व सुरेश्वर। एतच्छ्रुत्वा तु वचनं राज्ञा तेन प्रभाषितम्॥
