1. 162

    प्राणा अपि प्रदातव्या न देयं परमामृतम् । श्री देवी उवाच । देवदेव माहदेव परितृप्तास्मि शङ्कर ॥ १६१ ॥

    One may give up even one's prana (life energy), but this teaching which is the supreme nectar should never be given up. The auspicious goddess said: O great Lord Shankara, God of gods, I am now fully satisfied.
