पदं देवस्य मीळ्हुषोऽनाधृष्टाभिरूतिभिः । भद्रा सूर्य इवोपदृक् ॥

padáṁ devásya mīḷhúṣo ’nādhṛṣṭābhir ūtíbhíḥ | bhadrā́ sū́rya iva upadṛ́k ||

Langkah Dewa yang pemurah itu diteguhkan oleh pertolongan yang tidak terkalahkan; ia suatu penglihatan yang berbahagia, laksana Surya—pandangan yang mendaki yang membawa pengenalan yang benar.
