एनं देव निशीथे च सर्वदागत्य भक्तितः । संपूजयेन्न सन्देहः सत्यमेतत्प्रकीर्तितम्
enaṃ deva niśīthe ca sarvadāgatya bhaktitaḥ | saṃpūjayenna sandehaḥ satyametatprakīrtitam
Dan Tuhan yang sama ini, pada saat tengah malam pun, hendaknya selalu didatangi dengan bhakti dan dipūjā sepenuhnya. Tiada keraguan; inilah kebenaran yang dimaklumkan.
