प्रलय-प्रक्रिया (Pralaya Process) — Guṇa-Withdrawal and Pratisaṃcara
Devanagari script
बलिस्वाच न हीमामासुरीं वेझि न दैवीं च न मानुषीम् । त्वमेनां पृच्छ वा मा वा यथेष्टं कुरु वासव
Translation
ಬಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಇಂದ್ರಾ! ನನ್ನ ತಿಳುವಳಿಕೆಗೆ ಇವಳು ಅಸುರಕುಲದವಳೂ ಅಲ್ಲ, ದೇವಜಾತಿಯವಳೂ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಮಾನವಿಯೂ ಅಲ್ಲ. ನೀನು ಬಯಸಿದರೆ ಇವಳನ್ನೇ ಕೇಳು, ಇಲ್ಲವೇ ಕೇಳದೆ ಇರಬಹುದು; ವಾಸವ, ನಿನ್ನ ಇಷ್ಟದಂತೆ ಮಾಡು.
