Devanagari script

अग्निश्च रेतो मृडया च देहो रेतोधा विष्णुरमृतस्य नाभिः । एतद्ब्रुवन्पार्वति सत्यवाक्यं ततोऽवगाहेत्तु पतिं नदीनाम्

Transliteration

agniśca reto mṛḍayā ca deho retodhā viṣṇuramṛtasya nābhiḥ | etadbruvanpārvati satyavākyaṃ tato'vagāhettu patiṃ nadīnām

Translation

อัคนีคือพืชพันธุ์; กายเกิดด้วยพระกรุณาแห่งพระศิวะผู้เมตตา; พระวิษณุทรงเป็นผู้ทรงไว้ซึ่งพืชนั้น และเป็นนาภีแห่งอมฤต. โอ้พระปารวตี เมื่อกล่าววาจาสัตย์นี้แล้ว จึงลงสู่สายน้ำ—เจ้าแห่งนทีทั้งหลาย—เพื่ออาบชำระให้บริสุทธิ์.
