The Slaying of the Kālakeyas and the Greatness of Vināyaka Worship
धनार्थी विपुलं वित्तं कन्यां साध्वीं मनोरमाम् । ऐश्वर्यं धर्मसाध्यं च तनयं कुलमोक्षदम्
dhanārthī vipulaṃ vittaṃ kanyāṃ sādhvīṃ manoramām | aiśvaryaṃ dharmasādhyaṃ ca tanayaṃ kulamokṣadam
धनाची इच्छा असणारा विपुल धन मिळवतो; साध्वी व मनोहर कन्या (वधू) प्राप्त होते; धर्माने सिद्ध होणारे ऐश्वर्य मिळते; आणि कुलाचा उद्धार करणारा पुत्रही मिळतो.
