فليطلبْ حارسُ الكنزِ هذا الإيداع؛ أمّا سائرُ من حوله فليكونوا عاجزين، لا سلطانَ لهم ولا تدبير. منّا أُعطي، ومنّا وُضع—إنه السماء؛ وبثلاثةِ عيدانٍ/سوقٍ ارتقى إلى السماواتِ الثلاث.

Devata: Nidhi (treasure) and Svarga (protective heavenly estate); also the functional power of Īśvaratā (authority) negated for outsiders.
