Adhyaya 23 — Ashvatara’s Vow for Madalasa and the Bestowal of Musical Science by Sarasvati
तथा नान्यस्य भूर्लोके पाताले चापि पन्नग ।
प्रणेता रौ भवन्तौ च सर्वस्यास्य भविष्यतः ।
पाताले देवलोके च भूर्लोके चैव पन्नगौ ॥
tathā nānyasya bhūrloke pātāle cāpi pannaga / praṇetārau bhavantau ca sarvasyāsya bhaviṣyataḥ / pātāle devaloke ca bhūrloke caiva pannagau
«Et il n’y en aura pas d’autre, ni sur la terre ni même dans le monde inférieur, ô Nāga. Vous deux serez, dans les temps à venir, les promulgateurs de tout cela — à Pātāla, dans le monde des dieux et sur la terre aussi, ô Nāga.»
