सरस्वत्युवाच वरं ते कंबलब्रातः प्रयच्छाम्युरगाधिप ।
तदुच्यतां प्रदास्यामि यत्ते मनसि वर्तते ॥
sarasvatyuvāca varaṃ te kambalabhrātaḥ prayacchāmyuragādhipa ! /
taducyatāṃ pradāsyāmi yatte manasi vartate
சரஸ்வதி கூறினாள்: கம்பலனின் சகோதரனே, நாகங்களின் தலைவனே, உனக்கு வரம் அளிக்கிறேன். உன் மனத்தில் இருப்பதைச் சொல்—அதனை அனைத்தையும் நான் அருள்வேன்।
