kasmādvibhūtir amalāmaramartyapūjyā jātā ca sarvavijitāmarasundarīṇām
bhāryā mamālpatapasā paritoṣitena dattaṃ mamāmbujagṛhaṃ ca munīndra dhātrā //
"O Sage! how is it that there is such an abundance of prosperity in my house? How have I got a queen who is venerated even by the Devas, and who has no equal even among the goddesses? Why has Brahmā become so much pleased with my little asceticism as to present me with such a lotus, (vast wonderful), that when myriads of kings, with ministers, elephants, people, and chariots entered into it, they appear small indeed, like so many galaxies of twinkling stars with the moon herself in the immeasureable expanse of the firmament.—8-9.
