पुनरन्तर्गतमना भूत्वा शोकपरायणः। तमुवाच ततो ब्रह्मा प्रहसन् मुनिपुङ्गवम्॥ श्लोक एवास्त्वयं बद्धो नात्र कार्या विचारणा। मच्छन्दादेव ते ब्रह्मन् प्रवृत्तेयं सरस्वती॥
punarantargatamanā bhūtvā śokaparāyaṇaḥ| tamuvāca tato brahmā prahasan munipuṅgavam|| śloka evāstvayaṃ baddho nātra kāryā vicāraṇā| macchandādeva te brahman pravṛtteyaṃ sarasvatī||
English Meaning
Then smiling, Brahmā spoke to the excellent sage,-Those verses of your which you have composed a sloka shall attain celebrity: no doubt need be entertained on this head, It is because I had intended so, that those verses had come out of your lips.
