कोऽपि मुग्धमतिर्बालो धात्रीं पृच्छति राघव ।
कांचिद्विनोदिनीं धात्रि वर्णयाख्यायिकामिति ॥ २ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
ko'pi mugdhamatirbālo dhātrīṃ pṛcchati rāghava |
kāṃcidvinodinīṃ dhātri varṇayākhyāyikāmiti || 2 ||

Vasishtha replied:—Hear me Rama, tell you the tale of a silly and jolt-headed boy, who once asked his nurse, to recite to him some pretty story for his amusement.
