भीष्मस्योत्तरायणप्रतीक्षा तथा युधिष्ठिरागमनम् | Bhīṣma’s uttarāyaṇa moment and Yudhiṣṭhira’s arrival

Devanagari script

दिवि श्रेष्ठो हि भगवान्‌ हरिनारायण: प्रभु: । वन्दितो हि स वन्देत मानितो मानयीत च । अहहितश्चाहयेन्नित्यं पूजित: प्रतिपूजयेत्‌

Transliteration

divi śreṣṭho hi bhagavān harinārāyaṇaḥ prabhuḥ | vandito hi sa vandeta mānito mānayīta ca | ahahitaś cāhayen nityaṃ pūjitaḥ pratipūjayet |

Translation

Di surga, Tuhan Hari-Nārāyaṇa adalah Penguasa yang paling utama. Siapa yang memuliakan-Nya, akan dimuliakan-Nya pula; siapa yang menghormati-Nya, akan dibalas-Nya dengan hormat. Siapa yang beritikad baik kepada-Nya, kepada orang itu Ia senantiasa berkenan; dan bila Ia dipuja, Ia menganugerahkan kembali karunia yang sepadan—demikianlah bhakti dijawab dengan rahmat yang setara.
