Śānti-parva Adhyāya 3: Karṇa’s training under Rāma Jāmadagnya and the Bhārgava restriction on the Brahmāstra
मोक्षितो नरकादस्माद् भवता मुनिसत्तम | भद्रें तवास्तु वन्दे त्वां प्रियं मे भवता कृतम्,उस राक्षसने पूर्णमनोरथ हो हाथ जोड़कर परशु-रामजीसे कहा--'भृगुश्रेष्ठी आपका कल्याण हो। मैं जैसे आया था, वैसे लौट जाऊँगा। मुनिप्रवर! आपने इस नरकसे मुझे छुटकारा दिला दिया। आपका भला हो। मैं आपको प्रणाम करता हूँ। आपने मेरा बड़ा प्रिय कार्य किया है'
mokṣito narakād asmād bhavatā munisattama | bhadraṁ te vāstu vande tvāṁ priyaṁ me bhavatā kṛtam ||
Disse Nārada: “Ó melhor dos sábios, por ti fui libertado deste inferno. Que a auspiciosidade seja tua. Eu me prostro diante de ti; fizeste o que me é mais querido.”
