Śrīpura-Nirmāṇa-Prastāva (Inquiry into Śrīpura and its Construction) / “The Proposal to Build Śrīpura”
मन्त्रिणी कृतसान्निध्या वृणीष्व वरमित्यशात् / सो ऽपिसर्वमुनिश्रेष्ठो मातङ्गस्तपसां निधिः / उवाच तां पुरो दत्तसान्निध्यां श्यामलांबिकाम्
mantriṇī kṛtasānnidhyā vṛṇīṣva varamityaśāt / so 'pisarvamuniśreṣṭho mātaṅgastapasāṃ nidhiḥ / uvāca tāṃ puro dattasānnidhyāṃ śyāmalāṃbikām
The Goddess Mantriṇī, having granted her gracious presence, said: “Choose a boon.” Then Mātaṅga, best of all munis and a treasury of tapas, spoke to Śyāmalāmbikā, who had appeared before him and bestowed her nearness.
