tam uvāca tato brahmā prahasan muni-puṅgavam | śloka eva tvayā baddho nātra kāryā vicāraṇā || 1.2.30 ||
ਫਿਰ ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਜੀ ਹੱਸਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਉਸ ਮੁਨਿਸ਼੍ਰੇਸ਼ਠ ਨੂੰ ਬੋਲੇ: “ਇਹ ਨਿਸ਼ਚੇ ਹੀ ਤੇਰੇ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਬੱਧ ਕੀਤਾ ਸ਼ਲੋਕ ਹੈ; ਇੱਥੇ ਕੋਈ ਵਿਚਾਰ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਲੋੜ ਨਹੀਂ।”
Thereafter lord Brahma smilingly addressed Valmiki, the pre-eminent among sages, saying, "You have indeed composed a sloka.There is no doubt about it".
