yadi kṛtsno mayā dharmo jñāyate carito 'pi vā
tena satyena jīvasva yadi satyaṃ vadāmyaham //

Afterwards, the seer Bhṛgu at once picked up the severed head of his wife and joined it to the trunk, saying:—“Devi! You have been killed by Lord Viṣṇu, and now I recall you to life again.” Saying that, he joined the head and the trunk together, and said “Abhijîva;” (“Be revived”); if I have fulfilled all the rules of law and acted righteously, and if I have always spoken the truth, then through that truth you come back to life. I say so truthfully.—108-110.
