मरुद्गणाः सदा साध्या यस्या दन्ता नरेश्वर । हुङ्कारे चतुरो वेदान् विद्यात्साङ्गपदक्रमान्
marudgaṇāḥ sadā sādhyā yasyā dantā nareśvara | huṅkāre caturo vedān vidyātsāṅgapadakramān
Wahai raja manusia, pada giginya sentiasa hadir para Marut, dan para Sādhya juga bersemayam di sana. Daripada bunyi ‘huṅ’—lenguhan sucinya—hendaklah diketahui empat Veda, beserta anggota bantuannya dan tertib bacaan kata demi kata (padakrama).
