အတိတ်၊ ပစ္စုပ္ပန်၊ အနာဂတ်ဖြစ်သမျှ—ကောင်းကင်၌ဖြစ်စေ၊ လူ့လောက၌ဖြစ်စေ၊ ရသာတလ၌ဖြစ်စေ—အရာအားလုံးကို ဓမ္မရာဇ၏ အမြင့်မြတ်သော ကရုဏာကြောင့် ကျွန်ုပ်တို့ အပြည့်အဝ သိကြ၏။

Scene: A visionary tableau of the three realms—svarga above with devas, martya in the middle with humans and Kāśī-like sacred city hints, rasātala below with nāgas/daityas—while an unseen Dharmarāja’s ‘anugraha’ radiates as a beam granting omniscience to the speakers.
