प्रसन्नः प्राह नो मिथ्या मम वाक्यं भवेत्क्वचित् । किं त्विंद्रद्युम्नभूपालपरिज्ञाने सहायताम्
prasannaḥ prāha no mithyā mama vākyaṃ bhavetkvacit | kiṃ tviṃdradyumnabhūpālaparijñāne sahāyatām
প্রসন্ন হয়ে তিনি বললেন—“আমার বাক্য কখনও মিথ্যা হবে না। তবে রাজা ইন্দ্রদ্যুম্নকে চিনতে তোমাকে সহায়তা করতে হবে।”
