अनन्यमानसो भूत्वा ततः सौख्यतरं नु किम् ॥ प्रयुक्तः सर्वदेवानां यो मामेवं प्रपूजयेत् ॥
ananyamānaso bhūtvā tataḥ saukhyataraṃ nu kim | prayuktaḥ sarvadevānāṃ yo mām evaṃ prapūjayet ||
What greater happiness could there be than becoming single-minded? He who, duly engaged in the worship acknowledged among all the deities, worships me in this manner is commended.
