Thereupon Brahmă come speedily to the region of the moon and said, "O Ten-necked one, O you having mighty arms, O direct son of Visravas, O gentle one, do you repair hence speedily, do not oppress the moon (for) this highly effulgent king of twice-born ones wish well-being to all. I shall communicate to you a mystical incantation; He who recollects it at the time of death, does not come by it." Being thus addressed the ten-necked demon, with folded hands, said, "If you are pleased with me O god! O lord of the worlds, O you of great penances, if do you wish to communicate that incantation, do you impart it upon me, O you of great piety; reciting which, O great one, I may be released of the fear of the celestials. Forsooth, by your favour, O lord of the celestials, I shall be invincible by all the Asuras, Danavas and birds."
अथ ब्रह्मा तदागच्छत्सोमलोकं त्वरान्वितः। दशग्रीव महाबाहो साक्षाद्विश्रवसः सुत॥ गच्छ शीघ्रमितः सौम्य मा चन्द्रं पीडयस्व वै। लोकस्य हितकामो वै द्विजराजो महाद्युतिः॥ मन्त्रं च संप्रदास्यामि प्राणात्ययगतिर्यदा। यस्त्वेतं संस्मरेन्मन्त्रं नासौ मृत्युमवाप्नुयात्॥ एवमुक्तो दशग्रीवः प्राञ्जलिर्देवमब्रवीत्। यदि तुष्टोऽसि मे देव लोकनाथ महाव्रत॥ यदि मन्त्रश्च मे देयो दीयतां मम धार्मिका यं जप्त्वाहं महाभाग सर्वदेवेषु निर्भयः॥ असुरेषु च सर्वेषु दानवेषु पतित्रिषु। त्वत्प्रसादात्तु देवेश स्यामजेयो न संशयः॥
