भगवानेव नो मान्यो भगवानेव नो गुरु: । भगवानस्य राज्यस्य कुलस्य च परायणम्,“भगवन्! आप ही हमलोगोंके माननीय और आप ही हमारे गुरु हैं। इस राज्य और पुरके परम आधार भी आप ही हैं
bhagavān eva no mānyo bhagavān eva no guruḥ | bhagavānasya rājyasya kulasya ca parāyaṇam ||
«يا بَهَغَفان، أنت وحدك موضع توقيرنا، وأنت وحدك مُعلّمنا. أنت الملاذ الأعلى والأساس الذي يقوم عليه هذا الملك وهذه السلالة.»
