वपुर्दीप्तांतरात्मानमेष कृत्वा मनोमयं । दारयोगं विना स्रक्ष्ये पुत्रमात्मतनूरुहं
vapurdīptāṃtarātmānameṣa kṛtvā manomayaṃ | dārayogaṃ vinā srakṣye putramātmatanūruhaṃ
Setelah membentuk wujud ini yang bertubuh gemilang, batinnya bercahaya dan lahir dari minda, aku akan mencipta—tanpa penyatuan dengan isteri—seorang putera, tunas yang tumbuh dari diriku sendiri.
