ஓ மகாபாக்யவதிகளே! நான் மகிழ்ந்தேன். என்னிடமிருந்து உங்களுக்கு எது வேண்டுமோ தயங்காமல் தேர்ந்தெடுங்கள்; மிக அரிதானதாயினும் அதையெல்லாம் நான் முழுமையாக அருள்வேன்.

FAQs
This verse frames boons as an expression of sovereign grace: when the giver is “pleased” (prasanna), even the most difficult attainments become accessible through granted favor.
