यथा च चतुरो मासान्पूजितस्तत्र संस्थितः । मुक्तिं ददाति पुंसां स तथा संकीर्तयाम्यहम्
yathā ca caturo māsānpūjitastatra saṃsthitaḥ | muktiṃ dadāti puṃsāṃ sa tathā saṃkīrtayāmyaham
જેમ તે ભગવાન ત્યાં ચાર માસ સ્થિત રહી પૂજિત થવાથી મનુષ્યોને મુક્તિ આપે છે, તેમ હું હવે તેમનું માહાત્મ્ય સંકીર્તન કરું છું.
