मेना-हिमालयसंवादः
Menā’s Counsel to Himālaya; Response to Slander of Śiva
ऋषयश्चैव ते सर्वे शम्भुना संस्मृता यदा । तदाऽऽजग्मुः स्वयं सद्यः कल्पवृक्षा इवापरे
ṛṣayaścaiva te sarve śambhunā saṃsmṛtā yadā | tadā''jagmuḥ svayaṃ sadyaḥ kalpavṛkṣā ivāpare
Apabila semua resi itu diingati oleh Śambhu (seakan dipanggil oleh ingatan ilahi), mereka pun segera datang dengan sendirinya—bagaikan pohon Kalpavṛkṣa yang menunaikan hajat, muncul seketika.
