व्यास उवाच । न भविष्यति ते माया वैष्णवी सा कथंचन । सुघोरान्नरकादस्मान्निष्क्रमस्व विगर्हितात्
vyāsa uvāca | na bhaviṣyati te māyā vaiṣṇavī sā kathaṃcana | sughorānnarakādasmānniṣkramasva vigarhitāt
Vyāsa dit : Cette māyā vaiṣṇavī ne s’élèvera en toi d’aucune manière. Sors de cet enfer d’enfermement, si terrible et si blâmable.
Vyāsa
