एषा विद्या पुरा देवि नित्यकालं सुगो पिता ॥ भक्ताऽ त्वं मम शिष्या च कथिता ते वसुन्धरे ॥
eṣā vidyā purā devi nityakālaṃ sugo pitā || bhaktā tvaṃ mama śiṣyā ca kathitā te vasundhare ||
यह बात बहुत पुरानी है देवी। पहले से चली आ रही है, अच्छे बाप ने इस्से संभाला है। तुम मेरी भक्त हो और मेरी शिष्या भी हो, इसलिए मैंने तुम्हे यह सब बताया है वसुंधरा।
