पितृयज्ञे नारायणतत्त्वम् — The Nārāyaṇa Grounding of Ancestral Offerings
उर्वश्या वचन श्रुत्वा शुक: परमधर्मवित् । उदैक्षत दिश: सर्वा वचने गतमानस:,उर्वशीकी बात सुनकर परम धर्मज्ञ शुकदेवजीने सम्पूर्ण दिशाओंकी ओर देखा। उस समय उनका चित्त उसकी बातोंकी ओर चला गया था
urvaśyā vacanaṃ śrutvā śukaḥ paramadharmavit | udaikṣata diśaḥ sarvā vacane gatamānasaḥ ||
ઉર્વશીના વચન સાંભળી પરમ ધર્મજ્ઞ શુકે સર્વ દિશાઓ તરફ નજર કરી; કારણ કે તે ક્ષણે તેનું ચિત્ત તેના વચનો તરફ ખેંચાઈ ગયું હતું.

Urvaśī speaks, and Śuka listens; upon hearing her, he looks around in all directions, showing that his attention has been momentarily captured by her words and that an inner response has been stirred.
