ब्रुवाणमेवं देवं तु नारदः प्रत्युवाच ह । तथाहं तु करिष्यामि यथा श्रद्धास्यते भवान्
bruvāṇamevaṃ devaṃ tu nāradaḥ pratyuvāca ha | tathāhaṃ tu kariṣyāmi yathā śraddhāsyate bhavān
เมื่อพระผู้เป็นเจ้าตรัสดังนั้น นารทจึงทูลตอบว่า “ถ้าเช่นนั้น ข้าพเจ้าจักกระทำให้เป็นไป เพื่อพระองค์จะทรงเกิดศรัทธาเชื่อถือ”
