अम्बिका हृदयं वापि जपेच्छुद्धो भवेन्नरः / क्षत्रियो ऽपि त्रिवर्णानां द्विजादर्धोर्ऽधतः क्रमात्
ambikā hṛdayaṃ vāpi japecchuddho bhavennaraḥ / kṣatriyo 'pi trivarṇānāṃ dvijādardhor'dhataḥ kramāt
Whoever, being pure, recites in japa the “Heart of Ambikā” becomes purified. Even for a kṣatriya among the three varṇas, the count is prescribed in order as half of a dvija’s, or half of that.
