याभ्यां तयोस्समं नास्ति त्रैलोक्ये सचराचरे । ततो देवगणास्सर्वे पंचभिस्तैर्मुदान्विताः
yābhyāṃ tayossamaṃ nāsti trailokye sacarācare | tato devagaṇāssarve paṃcabhistairmudānvitāḥ
ในไตรโลก—ทั้งที่เคลื่อนไหวและไม่เคลื่อนไหว—ไม่มีสิ่งใดเสมอเหมือนสองท่านนั้น ดังนั้นหมู่เทวดาทั้งปวงจึงปลาบปลื้ม และเปี่ยมด้วยความยินดีด้วยทั้งห้าประการนั้น

FAQs
