Adhyaya 72 — The Reconciliation Rite, Sarasvati Sacrifice, and the Birth of Uttama Manu (Auttama Manvantara Prelude)
मार्कण्डेय उवाच इति दत्वा वरं तस्मै नागराजसुता ततः ।
सखीṃ तां संपरिष्वज्य पातालमगमन्मुने ॥
mārkaṇḍeya uvāca iti datvā varaṃ tasmai nāgarājasutā tataḥ | sakhīṃ tāṃ saṃpariṣvajya pātālam agaman mune ||
قال ماركانديّا: «فلما منحتْه تلك النعمة على هذا النحو، عانقتْ ابنةُ ملكِ الناغا ذلك الصديق، ثم مضتْ إلى باتالا، أيها الحكيم».
