इति निगदितमेतद्देवदेवस्य चित्रं चरितमिदमचिंत्यं देवि ते शंकरस्य । कलिकलुषविदारं सर्वलोकोऽपि यायाद्यदि पठति शृणोति स्तौति नित्यं य इत्थम्
iti nigaditametaddevadevasya citraṃ caritamidamaciṃtyaṃ devi te śaṃkarasya | kalikaluṣavidāraṃ sarvaloko'pi yāyādyadi paṭhati śṛṇoti stauti nityaṃ ya ittham
هكذا أُعلِنَتْ، يا ديفي، هذه السيرةُ المقدّسةُ العجيبةُ التي لا تُدرَكُ بالعقل لِشَنْكَرَا، إلهِ الآلهة. إنها تمحو دَنَسَ عصرِ كالي؛ فمَن يداوم على تلاوتها أو سماعها أو تسبيحها، يقودُ الناسَ جميعًا إلى الخيرِ الروحي.
