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
ਬਲੀ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ—ਇੰਦਰ! ਮੇਰੀ ਸਮਝ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਹ ਨਾ ਅਸੁਰ ਕੁਲ ਦੀ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਹੈ, ਨਾ ਦੇਵ ਜਾਤ ਦੀ, ਨਾ ਹੀ ਮਨੁੱਖੀ। ਤੂੰ ਚਾਹੇਂ ਤਾਂ ਇਸੇ ਨੂੰ ਪੁੱਛ ਲੈ, ਜਾਂ ਨਾ ਪੁੱਛ; ਵਾਸਵ, ਜਿਵੇਂ ਤੇਰੀ ਇੱਛਾ ਹੋਵੇ ਤਿਵੇਂ ਕਰ।
