Devanagari script

ततस्तदमृतं तस्यै ददुस्ते मूढचेतस: । स्त्रिये दानवदैतेया: सर्वे तदूग़तमानसा:,समस्त दैत्यों और दानवोंने उस मोहिनीपर अपना हृदय निछावर कर दिया। उनके चित्तमें मूढ़ता छा गयी। अतः उन सबने स्त्रीरूपधारी भगवानको वह अमृत सौंप दिया

Transliteration

tatas tad amṛtaṃ tasyai dadus te mūḍha-cetasaḥ | striye dānava-daiteyāḥ sarve tad-ūḍha-tamānasāḥ ||

Translation

Then those Daityas and Dānavas, their minds clouded by delusion and infatuation, handed that nectar over to her—the woman-form (Mohinī). Having surrendered their judgment to desire, they entrusted the very prize of their striving to the one who would deprive them of it, revealing how loss of self-control leads to ethical and practical ruin.
