न कश्चित्तं प्रति द्वेषी न च तं हिंसयेदपि । एतन्मे दीयतां देव मृतानाममृतिस्तथा ॥ ८९ ॥
na kaścittaṃ prati dveṣī na ca taṃ hiṃsayedapi | etanme dīyatāṃ deva mṛtānāmamṛtistathā || 89 ||
ఎవరూ అతనిపై ద్వేషం పెట్టకూడదు, ఎవరూ అతనికి ఏ విధంగానూ హాని చేయకూడదు। హే దేవా, నాకు ఈ వరం ప్రసాదించండి; అలాగే మరణించినవారికీ మరణబంధనంనుండి విముక్తి కలుగుగాక।
