ब्राह्मणः क्षत्रियो वैश्यः शूद्रः स्त्री वापि सङ्गताः ॥ शैलेश्वरं तु तत्स्थानं भक्तितः समुपासते ॥
brāhmaṇaḥ kṣatriyo vaiśyaḥ śūdraḥ strī vāpi saṅgatāḥ || śaileśvaraṃ tu tatsthānaṃ bhaktitaḥ samupāsate ||
ब्राह्मण, क्षत्रिय, वैश्य, शूद्र और औरतें सब मिल के शैलेश्वर भगवान की पूजा करते हैं। यह सब लोग अपना दिल लगा के भगवान को भक्ति करते हैं। कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कौन है, सब भगवान के पास बराबर हैं।
