तस्माद्देवाः सदा पूज्याः शुचिभिः श्रद्धयान्वितैः । प्रकृतिः शोधनीया च स्ववर्णोदितकर्मभिः
tasmāddevāḥ sadā pūjyāḥ śucibhiḥ śraddhayānvitaiḥ | prakṛtiḥ śodhanīyā ca svavarṇoditakarmabhiḥ
Karena itu para dewa hendaknya senantiasa dipuja oleh mereka yang suci dan beriman; dan tabiat diri pun harus disucikan melalui kewajiban-kewajiban yang ditetapkan sesuai varṇa masing-masing.
