Shloka 27
Omens and Consolation after Loss; Reaffirmation of the Saindhava Punishment Vow (उत्पात-दर्शनम्, आश्वासन-वाक्यानि, प्रतिज्ञा-स्थैर्यम्)
अनन्यदेवता नित्यं दृढभक्ता पितामहे | तस्थौ पितामहं चैव तोषयामास धर्मत:,दूसरे किसी देवतामें मन न लगाकर वह सदा पितामह ब्रह्मामें ही सुदृढ़ भक्तिभाव रखती थी। उस कन्याने अपने धर्माचरणसे पितामहको संतुष्ट कर लिया
ananyadevatā nityaṃ dṛḍhabhaktā pitāmahe | tasthau pitāmahaṃ caiva toṣayāmāsa dharmataḥ ||
अनन्यदेवता नित्यं दृढभक्ता पितामहे । तस्थौ पितामहं चैव तोषयामास धर्मतः ॥
