स एवम उक्तः परत्युवाच
भॊ जनमेजय पुत्रॊ ऽयं मम सर्प्यां जातः
महातपस्वी सवाध्यायसंपन्नॊ मत तपॊ वीर्यसंभृतॊ मच छुक्रं पीतवत्यास तस्याः कुक्षौ संवृद्धः
समर्थॊ ऽयं भवतः सर्वाः पापकृत्याः शमयितुम अन्तरेण महादेव कृत्याम
अस्य तव एकम उपांशु वरतम
यद एनं कश चिद बराह्मणः कं चिद अर्थम अभियाचेत तं तस्मै दद्याद अयम
यद्य एतद उत्सहसे ततॊ नयस्वैनम इति
