Verse 64.115

तस्यैवं चित्तम् अहु प्रमत्तबन्धुनो मा हेव मे च्यावये आसनातो ।
एषैव राजा भवे देवतानां न चास्य अस्ति समो सर्वलोके ॥ ११५ ॥

tasyaivaṃ cittam ahu pramattabandhuno mā heva me cyāvaye āsanāto |
eṣaiva rājā bhave devatānāṃ na cāsya asti samo sarvaloke || 115 ||

And this, they say, was the thought of the Son of Sloth: “May he not remove me from my seat. So let him be the king of devas, for there is not his equal in the whole world. (115)
