इत्युक्तस्त्रिदशैर्नन्दी पुनस्तान्प्रत्युवाच ह ॥ नन्दीकेश्वर उवाच ॥ यद्भवद्भिः प्रियं सर्वैः प्रीतिमद्भिः सुरोत्तमैः ॥
ity uktaḥ tridaśair nandī punas tān pratyuvāca ha || nandīkeśvara uvāca || yad bhavadbhiḥ priyaṃ sarvaiḥ prītimadbhiḥ surottamaiḥ ||
देवताओं ने बात की, तो नंदी ने वापस जवाब दिया। नंदिकेश्वर बोला, तुम सब मुझे प्यार से बोल रहे हो। जो भी तुम्हारी खुशी है, बता दो।
