येनैषा मामकी कीर्तिस्तावकं वक्तु कर्म तत् । विख्यातिं यातु लोकेऽत्र न कश्चित्पापमाचरेत्
yenaiṣā māmakī kīrtistāvakaṃ vaktu karma tat | vikhyātiṃ yātu loke'tra na kaścitpāpamācaret
Möge jene Tat von dir verkündet werden, durch die mein Ruhm bewahrt bleibt. Möge sie in dieser Welt bekannt werden, und möge hier niemand Sünde begehen.
