पुलस्त्य उवाच । अथ रोषसमायुक्तो दक्षो गत्वाऽब्रवीद्विधुम् । मम वाक्यं त्वया चंद्र यस्मात्पाप कृतं न हि
pulastya uvāca | atha roṣasamāyukto dakṣo gatvā'bravīdvidhum | mama vākyaṃ tvayā caṃdra yasmātpāpa kṛtaṃ na hi
पुलस्त्य उवाच—अथ रोषसमायुक्तो दक्षो गत्वा विधुं अब्रवीत्—“मम वाक्यं त्वया, चन्द्र, यतः नानुष्ठितं; पापकर्मन्!”
