त्रिशंकु के लिए देह सहित शाश्वत स्वर्ग हो। मेरे द्वारा रचे गए ये समस्त नक्षत्र ध्रुव और अचल रहें; जब तक लोक टिके रहें, तब तक ये सर्वत्र स्थित रहें। हे देवगण, मेरे कृत्य को आप सब अनुमोदित करें।
Let this heaven be an eternal abode for Trisanku in his physical form! All these stars created by me shall endure as long as the worlds survive. O gods! it behoves of you to accord consent to this".
