The Naga said-Indeed, your conduct is highly good. Pious you are and devoted to the well being of all pious persons, O highly blessed Brahmana, every praise is due to you? You see the Naga with eyes of affection.
नाग उवाच अहो कल्याणवृत्तस्त्वं साधुः सज्जनवत्सलः। अवाच्यस्त्वं महाभाग परं स्नेहेन पश्यसि॥
