Shloka 10
एष मे निश्चय: साधो कृतं कारणमुनत्तमम् । आमन्त्रयामि भद्र ते कृतार्थोडस्मि भुजजड्रम
eṣa me niścayaḥ sādho kṛtaṃ kāraṇam uttamam | āmantrayāmi bhadra te kṛtārtho ’smi bhujaṅgama mahātman ||
Wika ng Brahmana: “Ito ang aking tiyak na pasya, O mabuting ginoo. Natupad na ang layon—at sa pinakamainam na paraan. Ngayon ay nagpapaalam na ako sa iyo; nawa’y mapasa iyo ang kabutihan. O dakilang ahas, marangal ang loob! Natamo ko na ang aking hangarin; hinihiling ko ang iyong pahintulot na lumisan.”
