Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 2
नमोऽस्तु ते पुण्यजले नमो मकरगामिनि । नमस्ते पापमोचिन्यै नमो देवि वरानने
namo'stu te puṇyajale namo makaragāmini | namaste pāpamocinyai namo devi varānane
ပုဏ္ဏသန့်ရေရှိသော မိခင်မြစ်တော်အား နမස්ကာရပါ၏။ မကရာ၏ လှိုင်းစီးသကဲ့သို့ စီးဆင်းသူအား နမස්ကာရပါ၏။ အပြစ်ကို ဖြုတ်ပေးသူအား နမස්ကာရပါ၏။ မျက်နှာလှပသော ဒေဝီတော်အား နမස්ကာရပါ၏။
