कृतकृत्योऽस्मि चैतेन सफलं जीवितञ्च मे ।
यदङ्गसंस्लेषमितस्तव देवस्य मानुषः ॥
kṛtakṛtyo 'smi caitena saphalaṃ jīvitañ ca me / yad aṅga-saṃśleṣam itaḥ tava devasya mānuṣaḥ
இதனால் நான் செய்யவேண்டியதைச் செய்து முடித்தேன்; என் வாழ்வும் பயனடைந்தது—ஏனெனில் நான் ஒரு மனிதனாக இருந்தும், ஓ தேவி, உமது திருமேனி-ஸ்பரிசத்தைப் பெற்றேன்।
