There upon approaching the patriarch Brahma, the lord of three worlds, I said: O lord, here there is no hunger or thirst; still why have I been brought to their control? Of what iniquity of mine is this fruit? O deity, tell me upon what I shall live.
गत्वा त्रिभुवन श्रेष्ठं पितामहमुवाच ह। भगवन्ब्रह्मलोकोऽयं क्षुत्पिपासाविवर्जितः॥ कस्यायं कर्मणः पाकः क्षुत्पिपासानुगो ह्यहम्। आहारः कश्च मे देव तन्मे ब्रूहि पितामह ॥
