The merit we have earned by worshipping your feet, O Lord, may we attain that great wealth of yours. ||40|| O Lord, may our prayer be successful by your grace. Please grace us today along with the king-sage Shrenik and all the listeners. ||8|| Thus, when the sages chanted the hymns in a loud voice, a great and auspicious commotion arose in the assembly of sages. ||42|| Thus, when the great sages praised the Lord of the assembly, he was pleased. For, yogis are indeed subdued by devotion. ||83|| Having praised the Lord of the assembly with great peace and solemnity, Gautama focused his mind on his grace. ||44|| Then, when the commotion arising from the praise had subsided, and the assembly of virtuous men, with folded hands, were attentively listening, the Lord Gautama, addressing the listeners, spoke in a voice that was both solemn, pleasing, and full of profound meaning. At that time, the radiant rays emanating from his teeth seemed to manifest the goddess Saraswati, who is completely free from all defects related to speech. At that time, the Lord of the assembly appeared as if he were showing the assembly of sages, who desired to acquire the precious jewels of good sayings, a collection of those jewels, purchased with the price of devotion. At that time, he was scattering the flowers of the rays of his teeth throughout the assembly, as if he were preparing the stage for the entry of Saraswati. As if to distribute the joy of the mind, the Lord Gautama, with his pure and joyful gaze, which extended everywhere, seemed to be cleansing the entire assembly. Although he was seated on the seat obtained by the power of his austerities, he appeared as if he were seated above all the worlds, by virtue of his great glory. At that time, he did not want to cause too much trouble to Saraswati, nor did he want to make his senses too active.
