'दोधूयमानां तां नावं समीरेण बलीयसा ।

उपस्थितस्य मे शृङ्गे निबध्नीहि महाहिना ॥
 

"Fasten with a long snake to the snout

of Myself, who would approach you (at

the proper time), that ark which would

be tossed about by a forceful gale.

' अहं त्वामृषिभिस्साकं सहनावमुदन्वति ।

विकर्षन्विचरिष्यामि याबद्ब्राह्मी निशा प्रभो ॥

मदीयं महिमानं च परंब्रह्मेति शब्दितम् ।

वेत्स्यस्यनुगृहीतं मे संप्रश्नैर्विवृतं हृदि ।'
 

"King! I shall drag you along with the

sages and the boat in the ocean and

move about till Brahma's night comes

to an end. And you shall also realise in

your own heart My glory, that which is

called the Supreme Spirit, which I shall

bless you with and expound in reply to

your questions."
