Dīkṣā-bhedaḥ (Types of Initiation) — Lalitopākhyāna: Hayagrīva–Agastya Dialogue

Devanagari script

स्वीकुर्यात्परया भक्त्या देवी शेष कलाधिकम् / सद्य एव स शिष्यः स्यात्पङ्क्तिपावनपावनः

Transliteration

svīkuryātparayā bhaktyā devī śeṣa kalādhikam / sadya eva sa śiṣyaḥ syātpaṅktipāvanapāvanaḥ

Translation

The Goddess, through supreme devotion, accepts what remains beyond the allotted portion. At once that disciple becomes pure—purifier of the line, purifier even of the purifiers.
