भीष्मस्योत्तरायणप्रतीक्षा तथा युधिष्ठिरागमनम् | Bhīṣma’s uttarāyaṇa moment and Yudhiṣṭhira’s arrival
महावराहं त॑ देवं॑ सर्वलोकपितामहम् । अहं चैव नमस्यामि नित्यमेव जगत्पतिम्,मैं भी महावराहरूप धारण करनेवाले उन सर्वलोक-पितामह जगदीश्वरको नित्य प्रणाम करता हूँ
mahāvarāhaṃ taṃ devaṃ sarvalokapitāmaham | ahaṃ caiva namasyāmi nityam eva jagatpatim ||
Yo me inclino siempre ante aquel Señor divino que asumió la forma del Gran Jabalí—el ancestro de todos los mundos, el soberano del universo. También yo ofrezco sin cesar reverencia al Dueño del cosmos.
