तयोस्तद् वचनं श्रुत्वा भृगुः परमधार्मिकः। उवाच परमां वाणी स्वच्छन्दोऽत्र विधीयताम्॥ एको वंशकरो वास्तु बहवो वा महाबलाः। कीर्तिमन्तो महोत्साहाः का वा कं वरमिच्छति ॥
tayostad vacanaṃ śrutvā bhṛguḥ paramadhārmikaḥ| uvāca paramāṃ vāṇī svacchando'tra vidhīyatām|| eko vaṃśakaro vāstu bahavo vā mahābalāḥ| kīrtimanto mahotsāhāḥ kā vā kaṃ varamicchati ||
