After finishing his recitation the Brahmana stood up and, lowering his head, laid himself down before the goddess's feet. The pious Reciter, addressing the goddess, said,-By good luck, O goddess, you have been pleased with me and shown yourself to me. If, indeed, you are pleased with me, the boon I ask is that my heart may find pleasure in the act of recitation.
समाप्तजप्यस्तूत्थाय शिरसा पादयोस्तदा। पपात देव्या धर्मात्मा वचनं चेदमब्रवीत्॥ दिष्ट्या देवि प्रसन्ना त्वं दर्शनं चागता मम। यदि चापि प्रसन्नासि जप्ये मे रमतां मनः॥
