आगतान् विद्धि सर्वान्वै त्रिदशान् समरुद्गणान् ॥ दिदृक्षया च भद्रं ते कृतकृत्यश्च साम्प्रतम् ॥
āgatān viddhi sarvān vai tridaśān samarudgaṇān || didṛkṣayā ca bhadraṃ te kṛtakṛtyaś ca sāmpratam ||
จงรู้เถิดว่า เทพทั้งปวงคือเหล่าไตรทศ พร้อมด้วยหมู่มรุต ได้มาถึงแล้ว ด้วยความปรารถนาจะได้เห็นท่าน ขอความเป็นสิริมงคลจงมีแก่ท่าน; บัดนี้ท่านเป็นผู้สำเร็จกิจแล้ว
