Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 21

Sanskrit:

एवमुक्त: स वै देवानभिवन्द्य महायशा: ।अशयिष्ट गुहाविष्टो निद्रया देवदत्तया ॥ २१ ॥

ITRANS:

evam uktaḥ sa vai devānabhivandya mahā-yaśāḥaśayiṣṭa guhā-viṣṭonidrayā deva-dattayā

Translation:

Addressed thus, King Mucukunda took his respectful leave of the demigods and went to a cave, where he lay down to enjoy the sleep they had granted him.

Purport:

Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura gives the following lines from an alternate reading of this chapter. These lines are to be inserted between the two halves of this verse: “The King, exhausted by his labor, then chose sleep as his benediction. He further stated, ‘O best of the demigods, may whoever disturbs my sleep be immediately burned to ashes.’ The demigods replied, ‘So be it,’ and told him, ‘That insensitive person who wakes you in the middle of your sleep will immediately turn to ashes simply by your seeing him.’”
