Shloka 79
Adhyaya 85 — Suratha's Devotion
स त्वं गच्छ मयोक्तं ते यदेतत्सर्वमादृतः ।
तदाचक्ष्वासुरेन्द्राय स च युक्तं करोतु तत् ॥
sa tvaṃ gaccha mayoktaṃ te yadetat sarvam ādṛtaḥ | tad ācakṣv āsurendrāya sa ca yuktaṃ karotu tat ||
അതുകൊണ്ട് നീ പോകുക; ഞാൻ പറഞ്ഞതെല്ലാം സൂക്ഷ്മമായി ശ്രദ്ധിക്കുക. അത് അസുരാധിപനോട് അറിയിക്കുക; ആ കാര്യത്തിൽ യുക്തമായതു അവൻ തന്നെ ചെയ്യട്ടെ.
