Śakra said: / "Even the suras do not see Mahādeva, the lord of the assembly. / You will not see him, O best of brahmins; state what is in your mind. / Out of affection for your father, I have come here, O you of great vows. / By righteousness you are my son; speak therefore, and I shall give [it]." / Upamanyu said: / "You have performed the duty of a kinsman; I have been honoured by you, O lord. / Depart; I will not ask for a boon that originates from anyone other than Rudra."
