Kārtavīrya–Samudra Saṃvāda and the Jāmadagnya Precedent (आश्वमेधिक पर्व, अध्याय २९)

त॑ समुद्रो नमस्कृत्य कृताञज्जलिरुवाच ह । मा मुज्च वीर नाराचान्‌ ब्रूहि कि करवाणि ते,तब समुद्रने प्रकट होकर उसके आगे मस्तक झुकाया और हाथ जोड़कर कहा --वीरवर! राजसिंह! मुझपर बाणोंकी वर्षा न करो। बोलो, तुम्हारी किस आज्ञाका पालन करूँ? शक्तिशाली नरेश्वर! तुम्हारे छोड़े हुए इन महान्‌ बाणोंसे मेरे अन्दर रहनेवाले प्राणियोंकी हत्या हो रही है। उन्हें अभय दान करो”

taṁ samudro namaskṛtya kṛtāñjalir uvāca ha | mā muñca vīra nārācān brūhi kiṁ karavāṇi te ||

Then the Ocean appeared; bowing in reverence and with hands joined, it said: “Do not loose your steel-pointed arrows, O hero. Tell me—what shall I do for you? These mighty shafts you have released are slaying the creatures that dwell within me. Grant them safety and freedom from fear.”
