तां तस्मात्तत्र गत्वाहं वरं दत्त्वा तु वाञ्छितम् । पुनस्तपः करिष्यामि दर्शयिष्यामि वा पुनः । वैष्णवं विश्वरूपं यद्दुर्दश्यं देवदानवैः
tāṃ tasmāttatra gatvāhaṃ varaṃ dattvā tu vāñchitam | punastapaḥ kariṣyāmi darśayiṣyāmi vā punaḥ | vaiṣṇavaṃ viśvarūpaṃ yaddurdaśyaṃ devadānavaiḥ
“Portanto irei até ela ali e lhe concederei o dom desejado. Depois retomarei a austeridade e tornarei a revelar aquela Forma Universal vaiṣṇava, tão difícil de ser contemplada até por deuses e dānavas.”
