« Je suis satisfait, ô toi qui es grandement fortuné. Dis-moi, que dois-je faire pour toi ? Même ce qui n'est normalement pas donné, je te l'accorderai, quoi que ce soit qui demeure dans ton esprit. »

Scene: Sūrya, radiant and compassionate, addresses the brāhmaṇa with open palms, offering boons; the fire becomes a luminous altar rather than a threat, and the devotee stands humbled, hands folded.
