Devanagari script
क्षेत्र हि दैवतमिदं ब्राह्मणान् समुपाश्रितम् । अमलो होष तपसा प्रीत: प्रीणाति देवता:,ब्राह्मणोंका शरीर देवताओंका निवासस्थान है, उसमें सभी देवता विद्यमान रहते हैं। यदि ब्राह्मण तपस्यासे शुद्ध एवं संतुष्ट हो तो वह सम्पूर्ण देवताओंको प्रसन्न करता है
Translation
Sesungguhnya jasad ini ialah tempat kediaman para dewa, yang bersandar pada para brāhmaṇa. Tubuh brāhmaṇa menjadi tempat bersemayamnya para dewa; segala dewa hadir di dalamnya. Jika brāhmaṇa disucikan oleh tapa dan berasa puas, maka ia menggembirakan seluruh para dewa.
