Thus accosted, Vaishravana said to Muchukunda and his priest,-I never, without being ordered (by the Self-born) confr sovereignty upon any one. Nor do I ever, without his behest, snatch it away from any one. Know this, O king.
ततोऽब्रवीद् वैश्रवणो राजानं सपुरोहितम्। नाहं राज्यमनिर्दिा कस्मैचिद् विदधाम्युत॥ नाच्छिन्दे चाप्यनिादमिति जानीहि पार्थिव।
