Hearing of Shuka's intention, the great Rishi became highly pleased. Addressing him the great Rishi said,-0 son, O dear son, do you stay here to-day so that I may see you for some time for gratifying my eyes.
श्रुत्वा चर्षिस्तद् वचनं शुकस्य प्रीतो महात्मा पुनराह चैनम्। भो भो पुत्र स्थीयतां तावदद्य यावच्चक्षुः प्रीणयामि त्वदर्थे॥
