एवमुक्तस्तु देवेन्द्रस्तत्क्षणादेव भारत । भगानां तु सहस्रेण तत्क्षणादेव वेष्टितः
evamuktastu devendrastatkṣaṇādeva bhārata | bhagānāṃ tu sahasreṇa tatkṣaṇādeva veṣṭitaḥ
Setelah ditegur demikian, wahai Bhārata, Devendra pada saat itu juga diliputi dan seakan dilingkari oleh seribu ‘bhaga’ (tanda kelamin).
