प्रह्लाद उवाच । तासां तद्भाषितं श्रुत्वा तथा विलपितं बहु । बाढमित्येव ता ऊच उद्धवः स्नेहविह्वलाः
prahlāda uvāca | tāsāṃ tadbhāṣitaṃ śrutvā tathā vilapitaṃ bahu | bāḍhamityeva tā ūca uddhavaḥ snehavihvalāḥ
Прахлада сказал: «Услышав их речи и многие причитания, Уддхава, потрясённый любовной привязанностью, ответил им лишь: “Да будет так, воистину”.»
