ब्रह्माण्डं सकलं दत्त्वा यत्पुण्यफलमाप्नुयात् । तत्पुण्यं प्राप्नुयाद्देवि कार्तिक्यां जाह्नवीजले
brahmāṇḍaṃ sakalaṃ dattvā yatpuṇyaphalamāpnuyāt | tatpuṇyaṃ prāpnuyāddevi kārtikyāṃ jāhnavījale
Ô Devī, le mérite dont on recueillerait le fruit en offrant l’univers tout entier, ce même mérite s’obtient en se baignant ou en accomplissant les rites dans les eaux de Jāhnavī au mois de Kārtika.
