7.12.19

rājovāca - brahmaputra mahābhāga sarvamantraviśārada |
vijñaptiṃ me sumanasā śrotumarhasi tāpasa ||

O Ascetic! You are the son of Brahmâ, versed in all the Vaidik Mantrams; so you are exceedingly fortunate; now I beg to inform you one thing; hear it gladly. I now desire to enjoy the happiness of the Heavens and all the enjoyments of the Devas, while I am in this body. To enjoy in the Nandana Garden, to live with the Apsarâs and to hear the sweet music of the Devas and the Gandharbas, these ideas now have taken a strong hold of my heart. Therefore, O Great Muni! Engage me in such a sacrifice as will enable me, in this very body to live in the Svarloka. O Muni! You are fully competent to do this; therefore be ready for this. Have the sacrifice done and let me have quickly the Devaloka, so difficult to be obtained!

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
