तस्यां शक्तौ नरो यश्च कुर्यात्पृष्ठिनिघर्षणम् । पूजयित्वा तु पुष्पाद्यैः सम्यक्छ्रद्धासमन्वितः । स न स्याद्रोगसंयुक्तो यावत्संवत्सरं द्विजाः
tasyāṃ śaktau naro yaśca kuryātpṛṣṭhinigharṣaṇam | pūjayitvā tu puṣpādyaiḥ samyakchraddhāsamanvitaḥ | sa na syādrogasaṃyukto yāvatsaṃvatsaraṃ dvijāḥ
హే ద్విజులారా! ఎవడైన ఆ శక్తిని పుష్పాదులతో సమ్యక్గా పూజించి, శ్రద్ధతో తన వెన్నును దానిపై రుద్దుతూ (స్పర్శిస్తూ) చేస్తాడో, అతడు ఒక సంవత్సరం వరకు రోగబాధకు లోనుకాడు.
