चिरान्मृतसुतादाने गुरुणा किल चोदितौ । आनिन्यथु: पितृस्थानाद् गुरवे गुरुदक्षिणाम् ॥ ३२ ॥ तथा मे कुरुतं कामं युवां योगेश्वरेश्वरौ । भोजराजहतान् पुत्रान् कामये द्रष्टुमाहृतान् ॥ ३३ ॥
cirān mṛta-sutādāne guruṇā kila coditau āninyathuḥ pitṛ-sthānād gurave guru-dakṣiṇām
يُروى أنّ معلّمكما الروحي حين أمركما بإرجاع ابنه الذي مات منذ زمن بعيد، أتيتما به من مقام الآباء وقدّمتموه غورو-دكشِنا جزاءً لنعمة المعلّم. يا سيدي سادة اليوغا جميعًا، أتما كذلك رغبتي: أعيدا إليّ أبنائي الذين قتلهم ملكُ بوجا لأراهم مرة أخرى.
