सा होवाच मैत्रेयी । एवमुक्ता प्रत्युवाच मैत्रेयी- यद्येवं येनाहं नामृता स्याम्, किमहं तेन वित्तेन कुर्याम् ? यदेव भगवान् केवलम् अमृतत्वसाधनं वेद, तदेव अमृतत्व- साधनं मे मह्यं ब्रूहि ॥

So Maitreyī answered: "If that's so, then what good is wealth to me, if it won't make me immortal? Just tell me the one thing you know — the way to immortality itself."
