इदं च सप्तमं जन्म पद्मजन्मेति वै प्रभो । सर्गे सर्गे हाहं पुत्रस्तव त्रिगुणवर्जित,प्रभो! यह मेरा सातवाँ जन्म है, जो कमलसे उत्पन्न हुआ है। त्रिगुणातीत परमेश्वर! मैं प्रत्येक कल्पमें आपका पुत्र होकर प्रकट होता हूँ
idaṃ ca saptamaṃ janma padmajanmeti vai prabho | sarge sarge ha ahaṃ putras tava triguṇavarjita prabho ||
