Devanagari script

ओंकृत्य तासां वाक्यं सा स्वाकारं परिगोप्य च । प्रियाणि कृत्वा भूभर्तुः प्रस्तावज्ञा व्यजिज्ञपत्

Transliteration

oṃkṛtya tāsāṃ vākyaṃ sā svākāraṃ parigopya ca | priyāṇi kṛtvā bhūbhartuḥ prastāvajñā vyajijñapat

Translation

Nàng cất tiếng “Oṁ” cát tường để thuận theo lời họ, lại che giấu ý riêng; khéo biết thời cơ, trước hết làm những điều khiến đức vua hoan hỷ, rồi mới kính cẩn dâng lời thỉnh cầu lên bậc chúa tể cõi đất.

FAQs

Dharma includes right speech and right timing—requests should be made with humility, auspiciousness, and discernment.

The verse sits within the Kāśī Khaṇḍa narrative frame, implicitly rooted in Kāśī’s sacred milieu, though no specific tīrtha is named in this line.

None explicitly; the only auspicious marker is the assent with “Oṃ,” indicating sanctified speech.
