गोशृंग उवाच । साधुसाधु महाप्राज्ञ सर्वसत्त्वोपकारकम् । यन्न कस्यचिदाख्यातं तदद्य कथयामि ते
gośṛṃga uvāca | sādhusādhu mahāprājña sarvasattvopakārakam | yanna kasyacidākhyātaṃ tadadya kathayāmi te
கோச்ருங்கன் கூறினான்— சாது, சாது, மகாப்ராஜ்ஞனே! இது எல்லா உயிர்களுக்கும் நன்மை தருவது. யாரிடமும் சொல்லப்படாததை இன்று நான் உனக்குச் சொல்கிறேன்.
