Mārkaṇḍeya’s Consolation to the King: Exempla of Rāma and the Efficacy of Allies (मार्कण्डेयाश्वासनम्)
Devanagari script
विभीषण उवाच परमापद्गतस्यापि नाथर्मे मे मतिर्भवेत् अशिक्षितं च भगवन ब्रद्मास्त्र प्रतिभातु मे,विभीषण बोले--भगवन्! बहुत बड़ा संकट आनेपर भी मेरे मनमें कभी पापका विचार न उठे तथा बिना सीखे ही मेरे हृदयमें ब्रह्मासत्रके प्रयोग और उपसंहारकी विधि स्फुरित हो जाय
Translation
Vibhīṣaṇa sprach: „O Erhabener! Selbst wenn mich größte Not trifft, möge mein Sinn niemals zum Adharma neigen. Und gewähre mir, o Bhagavān, dass ohne Unterweisung in meinem Herzen die Kenntnis des Gebrauchs und des Zurücknehmens (upasaṃhāra) der Brahmāstra aufleuchte.“
