देवानां भाषितं श्रुत्वा ब्रह्महत्या महात्मनाम्। संदधौ स्थानमन्यत्र वरयामास दुर्वसा ॥ एकेनांशेन वत्स्यामि पूर्णोदासु नदीषु वै। चतुरो वार्षिकान्मासान्दर्पघ्नी कामचारिणी॥
devānāṃ bhāṣitaṃ śrutvā brahmahatyā mahātmanām| saṃdadhau sthānamanyatra varayāmāsa durvasā || ekenāṃśena vatsyāmi pūrṇodāsu nadīṣu vai| caturo vārṣikānmāsāndarpaghnī kāmacāriṇī||
