यदि त्वं कर्तुकामोसि प्रियं शिल्पवतां वर । धर्मराजस्य दैतेय यादृशीमिह मनन््यसे,तदनन्तर मन-ही-मन कुछ सोचकर प्रजापालक लोकनाथ भगवान् श्रीकृष्णने उससे कहा--'शिल्पियोंमें श्रेष्ठ दैत्वराज मय! यदि तुम मेरा कोई प्रिय कार्य करना चाहते हो तो तुम धर्मराज युधिष्ठिके लिये जैसा ठीक समझो, वैसा एक सभाभवन बना दो
yadi tvaṁ kartukāmo ’si priyaṁ śilpavatāṁ vara | dharmarājasya daiteya yādṛśīm iha manyase tad ||
“噢，工匠之最、达伊提耶的摩耶啊，若你愿为我做一件我所喜爱的事，就在此为法王由提施提罗建造一座你认为相称的王者大会堂。”
