Devanagari script
ब्रह्मोवाच बहव: पन्नगास्ती क्ष्णा घोररूपा विषोल्बणा: । प्रजानां हितकामो5हं न च वारितवांस्तदा,ब्रह्माजीने कहा--इन दिनों भयानक रूप और प्रचण्ड विषवाले क्रूर सर्प बहुत हो गये हैं (जो प्रजाको कष्ट दे रहे हैं)। मैंने प्रजाजनोंके हितकी इच्छासे ही उस समय कद्रूको मना नहीं किया
Translation
ବ୍ରହ୍ମା କହିଲେ—ଏହି ସମୟରେ ଭୟଙ୍କର ରୂପ ଓ ତୀବ୍ର ବିଷବଳ ଥିବା କ୍ରୁର ସର୍ପ ବହୁତ ବଢ଼ିଗଲେ; ସେମାନେ ପ୍ରଜାଙ୍କୁ ପୀଡ଼ା ଦେଉଛନ୍ତି। ପ୍ରଜାହିତ କାମନାରୁ ମୁଁ ସେତେବେଳେ କଦ୍ରୂଙ୍କୁ ରୋକିଲି ନାହିଁ।
