Devi ! you should deposit this agni in the western ocean; or else the world will be consumed in its flames." To this Sarasvatī told Viṣṇu as follows: "I am not a free person. I will do nothing without the permission of my father. Therefore, please think of some other means." - [Previous: c9.1357](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1357) - [Next: c9.1359](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1359) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1358](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1358) · Pramāṇa
