तस्यासि अहं सर्वशो सततम् अनाहार इत्य् अभिज्ञातो ।
ओजश् चे मह्य तेहि उपसंहारितं मृषा अस्या ॥ १२४ ॥
tasyāsi ahaṃ sarvaśo satatam anāhāra ity abhijñāto |
ojaś ce mahya tehi upasaṃhāritaṃ mṛṣā asyā || 124 ||
Then he thought, “Everywhere am I known as one who has fasted continually. If I have my strength restored by these goddesses, then it will all be a deceit.” (124)
