यदि चापि वरो देयस्त्वयास्माकं महेश्वरि ।
सं स्मृता सं स्मृता त्वं नो हिंसेथाः परमापदः ॥
yadi cāpi varo deyas tvayāsmākaṃ maheśvari | saṃsmṛtā saṃsmṛtā tvaṃ no hiṃsethāḥ paramāpadaḥ ||
«ហើយបើព្រះនាងនឹងប្រទានពរដល់ពួកយើង ឱ ព្រះមាតាទេវីដ៏អស្ចារ្យ៖ រាល់ពេលដែលព្រះនាងត្រូវបានរំលឹក—ម្តងហើយម្តងទៀត—សូមព្រះនាងបំបាត់គ្រោះមហន្តរាយដ៏ធំបំផុតសម្រាប់ពួកយើង»។
