Sanskrit Text

प्रसाद्याहं पुरा शर्वं मनसाचिन्तयं नृप महातपा महातेजा महायोगी महायशाः वेदव्यासः श्रियावासो ब्रह्मण्यः करुणात्मकः

English Translation

Parashara said Formerly I pleased Sarva, O king. I then cherished the desire of getting a son who would be endued with great ascetic merit, and superior energy, and addressed to high Yoga, that would acquire worldwide fame, arrange the Vedas and become the home of prosperity, that would be devoted to the Vedas and the Brahmans and be famous for mercy. Such a son was desired by me from Maheshvara.
