Seeing that best of Rishis in a conclave, Sarasvati, O king, while handing over the child, said these words:-"O Rishi, this is your son whom I held out of respect for you! That seed of yours, which fell at seeing the nymph Alambusha, had been held by me in my womb, O Rishi, through devotion for you and knowing well that your sced would never be destroyed.
ऋषिसंसदि तं दृष्ट्वा सा नदी मुनिसत्तमम्। ततः प्रोवाच राजेन्द्र ददती पुत्रमस्य तम्॥ ब्रह्मर्षे तव पुत्रोऽयं त्वद्भक्त्या धारितो मया। दृष्ट्वा तेऽप्सरसं रेतो यत् स्कन्नं प्रागलम्बुपाम्॥ तत् कुक्षिणा वै ब्रह्मर्षे त्वद्भक्त्या धृतवत्यहम्। न विनाशमिदं गच्छेत् त्वत्तेज इति निश्चयात्॥
