मरुत्त उवाच नारदेन भवान् महामाख्यातो हाटता पथि । गुरुपुत्रो ममेति त्वं ततो मे प्रीतिरुत्तमा
Marutta uvāca: nāradena bhavān mahāmākhyāto hāṭatā pathi | guruputro mameti tvaṃ tato me prītir uttamā ||
ମରୁତ୍ତ କହିଲେ—ମୁନେ! ପଥରେ ଯାତ୍ରା କରୁଥିବାବେଳେ ନାରଦ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ବିସ୍ତାରରେ କହି ମୋତେ ପରିଚୟ ଦେଇଥିଲେ। ଆପଣ ମୋର ଗୁରୁ ଅଙ୍ଗିରାଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର—ଏହା ଜାଣି ମୋର ଆନନ୍ଦ ପରମ ହେଲା।
