श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
वसिष्ठोऽस्मि महाबुद्धे मुनिरस्मि नभोगृहः ।
केनाप्यर्थेन राजर्षेरिमं मार्गमुपस्थितः ॥ ३८ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
vasiṣṭho'smi mahābuddhe munirasmi nabhogṛhaḥ |
kenāpyarthena rājarṣerimaṃ mārgamupasthitaḥ || 38 ||

Vasishtha replied:—Know me, O wise man, to be Vasishtha—the sage and saint, and an inhabitant of the etherial region; and am bound to this way, on some errand of the sagely king.
