पृथिव्यां पार्थिवा ये च तेषां यूयं परायणम् । गुणा न हि मया शकया वक्तुं वर्षशतैरपि,पृथ्वीपर जितने राजा हैं, उन सबके आपलोग उत्तम आश्रय हैं। सौ वर्षोमें भी आपलोगोंके गुणोंका वर्णन मैं नहीं कर सकती
Transliteration
pṛthivyāṃ pārthivā ye ca teṣāṃ yūyaṃ parāyaṇam | guṇā na hi mayā śakyā vaktuṃ varṣaśatair api ||
