ज्ञात्वैवैनं महेशानं विष्णुस्तूष्णीं ततः स्थितः / पञ्चवक्त्रस्ततो ब्रह्मा ह्यवमत्यैवमास्थितः / ब्रह्मणः शिरसामूर्ध्वं ज्योतिश्चक्रमभूत्पुरः

Translation
ਮਹੇਸ਼ਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਣ ਕੇ ਵਿਸ਼ਣੂ ਤਦ ਮੌਨ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਖੜੇ ਰਹੇ। ਪਰ ਪੰਜਵਕਤ੍ਰ ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਅਵਮਾਨ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਉਸੇ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਡਟਿਆ ਰਿਹਾ। ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਦੇ ਸਿਰਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਉੱਪਰ ਸਾਹਮਣੇ ਇੱਕ ਜ੍ਯੋਤੀ-ਚੱਕਰ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਹੋਇਆ।
