प्रह्लादतीर्थं तत्रैव नाम्ना प्रह्लादकेशवः । भक्तैः समर्चनीयोहं महाभक्ति समृद्धये
prahlādatīrthaṃ tatraiva nāmnā prahlādakeśavaḥ | bhaktaiḥ samarcanīyohaṃ mahābhakti samṛddhaye
तेथेच प्रह्लाद-तीर्थ आहे; तेथे मी ‘प्रह्लादकेशव’ या नावाने प्रसिद्ध आहे. महाभक्तीची समृद्धी व्हावी म्हणून भक्तांनी माझी विधिपूर्वक आराधना करावी।
