श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
सिद्धान्तकाल एवैष प्रश्नस्ते राम राजते ।
अकालपुष्पमाला हि शोभनापि न शोभते ॥ ६० ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
siddhāntakāla evaiṣa praśnaste rāma rājate |
akālapuṣpamālā hi śobhanāpi na śobhate || 60 ||

Brahmasmi said:— I am Brahma; as the scripture declares—"In Him we live and move,"then what means our redemption or return to Him?). Vasishtha replied:—Rama, your question is irrelevant at this time, when I was going to prove another thing. Nothing can be appropriate out of its proper time and place, as the untimely offering of flowers to gods is not acceptable to them.
