अक्षमालापरिक्षिप्तं ज्योतिषां परमं निधिम् । ततो नारायणो दृष्टवा ववन्दे विश्वसम्भवम्,रुद्राक्षकी मालासे विभूषित तथा तेजकी परम निधिरूप उन विश्व-विधाताका दर्शन करके भगवान् नारायणने उनकी वन्दना की
akṣamālā-parikṣiptaṃ jyotiṣāṃ paramaṃ nidhim | tato nārāyaṇo dṛṣṭvā vavande viśva-sambhavam ||
ทรงประดับด้วยมาลารุทรाक्षะ เป็นขุมทรัพย์สูงสุดท่ามกลางผู้รุ่งโรจน์—ครั้นนารายณ์ได้เห็นผู้เป็นบ่อเกิดแห่งสากลจักรวาลนั้นแล้ว จึงน้อมคำนับด้วยความเคารพ.
