तेनापि शापितो विष्णुः सर्वज्ञत्वं तवास्ति यत् ।
किंचित्कालं हि तत्त्यक्त्वा त्वमज्ञानी भविष्यसि ॥ ६० ॥

tenāpi śāpito viṣṇuḥ sarvajñatvaṃ tavāsti yat |
kiṃcitkālaṃ hi tattyaktvā tvamajñānī bhaviṣyasi || 60 ||

Sanat-kumara in return denounced Vishnu by saying:—“Even all discerning as thou art, thou shalt have to sacrifice thine omniscience for some time, and pass as an ignorant mortal (on earth).”
