भवन्ति दुःखिताः सर्वे निर्दया मुनिसत्तमाः भक्तिहीना नराः सर्वे भवे परमकारणे

bhavanti duḥkhitāḥ sarve nirdayā munisattamāḥ bhaktihīnā narāḥ sarve bhave paramakāraṇe
Translation
Ô meilleur des sages, tous les hommes dépourvus de bhakti deviennent malheureux et au cœur sans compassion ; car dans le saṁsāra, le Paramakāraṇa — le Seigneur en tant que Pati — demeure inatteignable sans dévotion.
