विमानं तत्समानं च भवेदीशप्रसादतः । नानारूपाणि ताराणां दृश्यंते कोटयस्त्विमा
vimānaṃ tatsamānaṃ ca bhavedīśaprasādataḥ | nānārūpāṇi tārāṇāṃ dṛśyaṃte koṭayastvimā
ด้วยพระกรุณาขององค์อีศวร ย่อมได้วิมานทิพย์เสมอด้วยนั้น. และที่นั่นแล เห็นหมู่ดาวนานารูปนับเป็นโกฏิ ๆ ปรากฏอยู่.

It frames the attainment of exalted results (like a divine vimāna and celestial vision) as dependent on divine favor rather than merely personal power.
The imagery underscores the vastness and order of the cosmos, encouraging humility and devotion—recognizing extraordinary experiences as gifts aligned with dharma and divine grace.
