Devanagari script

किं दातव्यं नृपश्रेष्ठ प्रयच्छामि तवेप्सितम् । इति श्रुत्वा वचस्तस्य महेशस्य तदा नृपः । आनंदाश्रुकणान्मुंचन्प्रेम्णा नोवाच किंचन

Transliteration

kiṃ dātavyaṃ nṛpaśreṣṭha prayacchāmi tavepsitam | iti śrutvā vacastasya maheśasya tadā nṛpaḥ | ānaṃdāśrukaṇānmuṃcanpremṇā novāca kiṃcana

Translation

„O bester der Könige, was soll dir gegeben werden? Ich gewähre dir, was immer du begehrst.“ Als der König diese Worte Mahēśas vernahm, vergoss er Freudentränen und konnte, von Liebe und Hingabe überwältigt, kein Wort hervorbringen.
