कंक्षाविचिकित्सो आगतो स्मि प्रश्नं पृच्छितुं अभिकांक्षमाणो ।
तस्य सभिकस्य प्रश्नम् एवं पृष्टं भगवं अनुपूर्वम् अनुलोमम् अनुसन्धिम् अनुधर्मं व्याकरोहि ॥ १ ॥
kaṃkṣāvicikitso āgato smi praśnaṃ pṛcchituṃ abhikāṃkṣamāṇo |
tasya sabhikasya praśnam evaṃ pṛṣṭaṃ bhagavaṃ anupūrvam anulomam anusandhim anudharmaṃ vyākarohi || 1 ||
In doubt and perplexity I have come hither wishful to ask a question. The question that Sabhika now asks do thou, Lord, answer duly, properly, correctly and truthfully. (1)
