पुनर्हि हरिनैवेद्यं फलं चापि धृतं जलम् । चातुर्मास्ये विशेषेण शालग्रामगतं शुभम्
punarhi harinaivedyaṃ phalaṃ cāpi dhṛtaṃ jalam | cāturmāsye viśeṣeṇa śālagrāmagataṃ śubham
Sekali lagi, naivedya yang dipersembahkan kepada Hari—buah-buahan dan juga air yang dipegang untuk persembahan—menjadi amat suci dan membawa berkat dalam Cāturmāsya apabila ditujukan kepada Hari yang hadir dalam Śālagrāma.
