तुलाधार उवाच आयानेवासि विदितो मम ब्रह्मन् न संशय: । ब्रवीमि यत् तु वचन तच्छुणुष्व द्विजोत्तम
tulādhāra uvāca | āyāne evāsi vidito mama brahman na saṁśayaḥ | bravīmi yat tu vacanaṁ tac chṛṇuṣva dvijottama ||
তুলাধাৰে ক’লে—হে ব্ৰাহ্মণ! আপুনি মোৰ ওচৰলৈ আহি আছে বুলি মোৰ আগতেই বিদিত হৈছিল; ইয়াত কোনো সন্দেহ নাই। হে দ্বিজোত্তম! এতিয়া মই যি কথা ক’ম, সেয়া মনোযোগেৰে শুনক।
