त्रिः सप्त मयूर्यः सप्त स्वसारो अग्रुवः । तास्ते विषं वि जभ्रिर उदकं कुम्भिनीरिव ॥
Transliteration
tríḥ saptá mayū́ryaḥ saptá svásāro agrúvaḥ | tā́s te víṣaṃ ví jabhrire udakáṃ kumbhinī́r iva ||
Translation
สามครั้งเจ็ด คือพลังอันสว่างดุจนกยูง; เจ็ดพี่น้องผู้ก้าวนำหน้า ได้ขนพิษของท่านออกไป แยกออกแล้วสาดทิ้ง—ดุจสตรีผู้มีหม้อน้ำยกน้ำขึ้นแล้วเคลื่อนย้ายออกไป; ฉันนั้นแล นางทั้งหลายดึงพิษออกจากความเป็นอยู่.
