ṛśyaśṛṅga uvāca |
ṛddho bhavāñjyotiriva prakāśate manye cāhaṃ tvāmabhivādanīyam |
pādyaṃ vai te saṃpradāsyāmi kāmādyathādharmaṃ phalamūlāni caiva || 9 ||

Rishyasringa said, 'Thou art shining with lustre, as if thou wert a (mass) of light. And I deem thee worthy of obeisance. Verily I shall give thee water for washing thy feet and such fruits and roots also as may be liked by thee, for this is what my religion hath prescribed to me. Be thou pleased to take at thy pleasure thy seat on a mat made of the sacred grass, covered over with a black deer-skin and made pleasant and comfortable to sit upon. And where is thy hermitage? O Brahmana! thou resemblest a god in thy mien. What is the name of this particular religious vow, which thou seemest to be observing now?'
