gīrbhiḥ paramaśuddhābhis tuṣṭuvuś ca manoharam | vimuktāḥ sarvapāpebhyaḥ kṣāntā vigatakalmaṣāḥ || tasya bhūtapateḥ sthānaṃ bhīmarūpadharaṃ babhau ||
ນາຣະດະກ່າວວ່າ: ດ້ວຍຖ້ອຍຄໍາອັນບໍລິສຸດຢ່າງຍິ່ງ ບັນດາລິສີເຫຼົ່ານັ້ນໄດ້ສັນລະເສີນພຣະອົງດ້ວຍບົດສະຕຸຕິອັນໄພຣະ. ພວກເຂົາພົ້ນຈາກບາບທັງປວງ ມີຄວາມອົດທົນ ແລະບໍ່ມີມົນທິນ; ພວກເຂົາໄດ້ນົບນ້ອມພຣະສັງກະຣະ ໂດຍວາງສີສະລົງກັບພື້ນດິນ. ແລ້ວສະຖານທີ່ຂອງພຣະຜູ້ເປັນເຈົ້າແຫ່ງສັດທັງປວງນັ້ນກໍປາກົດຂຶ້ນ ໂດຍຮັບຮູບອັນນ່າກະຫຼັ່ງກະເຫຼືອມ.
