अशेषदुष्टशमनमशेषसुरपूजितम् । पवित्राणां पवित्रं यन्मगलानां च मंगलम् । भविष्यं च भविष्याणां पुराणानां पुरातनम्
aśeṣaduṣṭaśamanamaśeṣasurapūjitam | pavitrāṇāṃ pavitraṃ yanmagalānāṃ ca maṃgalam | bhaviṣyaṃ ca bhaviṣyāṇāṃ purāṇānāṃ purātanam
ఇది సమస్త దుష్టతను పూర్తిగా శమింపజేసేది, సమస్త దేవతలచే పూజింపబడేది; పవిత్రాలలో పరమ పవిత్రం, మంగళాలలో పరమ మంగళం; రాబోయే వాటికీ ‘భవిష్య’మై, పురాణాలలో అత్యంత ప్రాచీనమైనది।
