ये प्राणिनः कुत्रचिदत्र संति ब्रह्माण्डमध्ये परतश्च केचित् । तेषां तु सिद्धिः परमास्त्वनिंद्या स्तुते जगद्धातरि वासुदेवे
ye prāṇinaḥ kutracidatra saṃti brahmāṇḍamadhye parataśca kecit | teṣāṃ tu siddhiḥ paramāstvaniṃdyā stute jagaddhātari vāsudeve
Apa pun makhluk hidup yang ada di mana saja—di dalam jagat raya ini maupun di luarnya—semoga mereka meraih kesempurnaan tertinggi yang tanpa cela, ketika Vāsudeva, Penopang alam semesta, dipuji.
