Verse 64.127
चत्वारि द्वीपां वसि ईश्वरत्वे न च करेसि इह अनुशास्तिं ।
त्वं ऋद्धिप्राप्तो विचरेसि लोके शिष्यो ते भेष्यं यथ एकपुत्रो ॥ १२७ ॥
catvāri dvīpāṃ vasi īśvaratve na ca karesi iha anuśāstiṃ |
tvaṃ ṛddhiprāpto vicaresi loke śiṣyo te bheṣyaṃ yatha ekaputro || 127 ||
“Thou shalt control under thy sovereignty the four continents. But here thou wouldst have no dominion. With the magic power at thy command thou shouldst go forth into the world. I shall be thy disciple, like an only son. (127)
