ततो देवाः कालिकायाः शंकमानाः पुनर्भयम् । ऊचुर्मा बाल बालत्वं परित्यज कृपां कुरु
tato devāḥ kālikāyāḥ śaṃkamānāḥ punarbhayam | ūcurmā bāla bālatvaṃ parityaja kṛpāṃ kuru
ຕໍ່ມາ ພວກເທວະທັງຫຼາຍ ຍັງຢ້ານ ແລະສົງໄສກາລິກາອີກ ຈຶ່ງກ່າວວ່າ: “ໂອ ເດັກນ້ອຍ, ຢ່າລະທິ້ງຄວາມເປັນເດັກ; ຂໍໃຫ້ເຈົ້າເມດຕາ.”
Devas (gods)
Listener: Devas (collectively)

Even the gods seek refuge in divine compassion when confronted by overwhelming fear.
No tīrtha is explicitly praised in this verse.
A prayerful appeal for kṛpā (mercy) is expressed, but no formal rite is prescribed.
