Verse 22

²²By what rule, brahmin, am I to wait upon the lord of the world, so that he, whose will comes true, may bring about what I have set my heart on? ²³Best of the twice-born, tell me the rule for running to him, so that the god may quickly be pleased with me, who am sinking, and with my little sons. ²⁴The revered lotus-born one was asked this by me when I wanted children. What he said then, the vow that pleases Kesava, I will set out for you.
