Devanagari script
इत्युक्त्वा समुदैक्षन्त वासुकिं पन्नगोत्तमम् । वासुकिश्नापि संचिन्त्य तानुवाच भुजड्रमान्,यह कहकर वे सर्प नागराज वासुकिकी ओर देखने लगे। तब वासुकिने भी खूब सोच- विचारकर उन सर्पोंसे कहा--
Transliteration
ity uktvā samudaikṣanta vāsukiṁ pannagottamam | vāsukiś cāpi saṁcintya tān uvāca bhujadrumān ||
Translation
Having spoken thus, they all turned their gaze toward Vāsuki, the foremost of serpents. Vāsuki too, after reflecting carefully, addressed those serpent-lords—signaling that a grave collective decision was about to be taken with prudence rather than impulse.
