Verse 87.16

ततः शोकेन महता शैलराजसुतां नृपः॥ प्रणिपत्य उमां देवीं सर्वेणैवान्तरात्मना। ईशे वराणां वरदे लोकानामसि भामिनी॥ अमोघदर्शने देवी भज सौम्येन चक्षुषा।

tataḥ śokena mahatā śailarājasutāṃ nṛpaḥ|| praṇipatya umāṃ devīṃ sarveṇaivāntarātmanā| īśe varāṇāṃ varade lokānāmasi bhāminī|| amoghadarśane devī bhaja saumyena cakṣuṣā|

English Meaning

Being stricken with great sorrow, the king, with whole heart, saluted the daughter of the mountain-chief and said:-0 goddess, you are the protectress of all-you do confer boons on all; seeing you does not become fruitless. Do you therefore have compassion on me.
