सुरूपा बहूरूपाश्च विश्वरूपाश्व मातर: । गावो मामुपतिष्ठन्तामिति नित्यं प्रकीर्तयेत्,प्रतिदिन यह प्रार्थना करनी चाहिये कि सुन्दर एवं अनेक प्रकारके रूप-रंगवाली विश्वरूपिणी गोमाताएँ सदा मेरे निकट आयें
surūpā bahurūpāś ca viśvarūpāś ca mātaraḥ | gāvo mām upatiṣṭhantām iti nityaṁ prakīrtayet |
ବସିଷ୍ଠ କହିଲେ—ପ୍ରତିଦିନ ଏହି ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା ଉଚ୍ଚାରଣ କରିବା ଉଚିତ: “ସୁନ୍ଦର ରୂପବତୀ, ନାନା ରୂପ-ରଙ୍ଗବତୀ, ବିଶ୍ୱରୂପିଣୀ ଗୋମାତାମାନେ ସଦା ମୋ ନିକଟକୁ ଆସି ମୋ ପାଖରେ ଅବସ୍ଥିତ ହେଉନ୍ତୁ।”
