एवमुक्ता त्वहं तेन शङ्करेण महात्मना । तदनुज्ञाप्य देवेशं भवन्तं प्रष्टुमागता । इदानीं यत्क्षमं कार्यं तच्छीघ्रं संविधीयताम् ॥ २२.३३ ॥
evamuktā tv ahaṃ tena śaṅkareṇa mahātmanā | tadanujñāpya deveśaṃ bhavantaṃ praṣṭum āgatā | idānīṃ yat kṣamaṃ kāryaṃ tac chīghraṃ saṃvidhīyatām || 22.33 ||
शंकर ने मुझे ऐसा कहा। मैं उनकी बात मान गई। देवों के गुरु से परमिशन ली और तुमसे पूछने आई। अब जो सही है जल्दी से वो करो।
