अनुवाद
Maya said: "This is fitting for you, O lord, as you have said, O bull among men; but out of love I wish to do something, O Bharata: for I am Vishvakarman, the great architect of the danavas; so, for your sake, I wish to accomplish something, O Pandava."

Here gratitude refuses to fall silent. It is significant that Maya asks permission to give, just as another might ask permission to take: love does not rest until it has served. He names his own craft -- he is the architect of the danavas -- for one must serve with what one has and what one knows. Thus scripture shows the persistence of grateful love; and Arjuna turns it toward Krishna.
