देवत्वे देवदेहा वै मानुषत्वे च मानुषी । त्वत्सहाया न संदेहो दांपत्यव्रतिनी चिरम्
devatve devadehā vai mānuṣatve ca mānuṣī | tvatsahāyā na saṃdeho dāṃpatyavratinī ciram
เมื่ออยู่ในภาวะเทวะ ข้าพเจ้าจักมีเทวสรีระ และเมื่ออยู่ในภาวะมนุษย์ ข้าพเจ้าก็เป็นมนุษย์ แน่นอนว่าข้าพเจ้าจักเป็นผู้เกื้อหนุนพระองค์ และจักมั่นคงในพรตแห่งชีวิตคู่ยาวนาน
