Adhyaya 23 — Ashvatara’s Vow for Madalasa and the Bestowal of Musical Science by Sarasvati
सरस्वत्युवाच वरं ते कंबलब्रातः प्रयच्छाम्युरगाधिप ।
तदुच्यतां प्रदास्यामि यत्ते मनसि वर्तते ॥
sarasvatyuvāca varaṃ te kambalabhrātaḥ prayacchāmyuragādhipa ! /
taducyatāṃ pradāsyāmi yatte manasi vartate
سرسوتی نے کہا: اے کمبل کے بھائی، اے سانپوں کے سردار، میں تجھے ور دیتی ہوں۔ جو تیرے دل میں ہے کہہ دے—میں وہ سب عطا کروں گی۔

Divine grace responds to devotion; the devotee is encouraged to articulate a clear intention (saṅkalpa) aligned with higher good.
Not pancalakṣaṇa; it is a didactic narrative moment within Devi Mahatmyam emphasizing bhakti and anugraha.
The ‘ask what is in your mind’ motif suggests Devī as antaryāmin (inner knower) who validates and empowers right aspiration.
