The Slaying of the Daitya Ruru, the Hymn to Cāmuṇḍā/Kālarātri, and the Doctrine of the Threefold Power
यश्चैतत् पूजयेद् भक्त्या पुस्तकेऽपि स्थितं बुधः । तेन यष्टं भवेत् सर्वं त्रैलोक्यं सचराचरम् ॥
yaś caitat pūjayed bhaktyā pustake 'pi sthitaṃ budhaḥ | tena yaṣṭaṃ bhavet sarvaṃ trailokyaṃ sacarācaram ||
जो कोई समझदार इंसान इसकी भक्ति से पूजा करता है, यह किताब में लिखा हो तब भी। उसकी वजह से लगता है जैसे पूरे तीनों दुनिया की पूजा हो गई हो। सब चलनेवाले और न चलनेवाले, सब समेट के।
