Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam · Text 10.88.20
Who is speaking and story frame
तमाह चाङ्गालमलं वृणीष्व मे
यथाभिकामं वितरामि ते वरम् ।
प्रीयेय तोयेन नृणां प्रपद्यता-
महो त्वयात्मा भृशमर्द्यते वृथा ॥ २० ॥
tam āha cāṅgālam alaṁ vṛṇīṣva me
yathābhikāmaṁ vitarāmi te varam
prīyeya toyena nṛṇāṁ prapadyatām
aho tvayātmā bhṛśam ardyate vṛthā
