सा तं विलोक्याखिलदेव देवं त्रिलोचनं चन्द्रकलावतंसम् । शशांकसूर्यानलकोटिभासं स्तब्धेव भीतेव तथैव तस्थौ
sā taṃ vilokyākhiladeva devaṃ trilocanaṃ candrakalāvataṃsam | śaśāṃkasūryānalakoṭibhāsaṃ stabdheva bhīteva tathaiva tasthau
L’ayant contemplé—Dieu de tous les dieux, le Trilocana ceint du croissant de lune, rayonnant comme des myriades de lunes, de soleils et de feux—elle demeura immobile, comme saisie et effrayée.
