kiñcāyaṃ rājarṣir apatya-kāmaḥ prajāṃ bhavādṛśīm āśāsāna īśvaram āśiṣāṃ svargāpavargayor api bhavantam upadhāvati prajāyām artha-pratyayo dhanadam ivādhanaḥ phalīkaraṇam //
13. Further this great king, desirous of children and especially of a son like Thyself, has sought Thee, the Lord of all blessings here, as well as the celestial abode and salvation; for he regards an offspring as the real purpose to be gained; (and therein) he is like unto a poor man who goes to Kubera for (mere) husk.
