Translation

Maaaring maging anyo Niya ang poot, ngunit ang Kanyang panloob na Sarili ay laging payapa; Siya ang nagbibigay ng matuwid na mga hangarin at malayang kumikilos bilang mismong kapangyarihan ng pagnanais—ang Minamahal. Siya ang banal na brahmacari, di-masayod at di-masukat, tapat sa kabanalan (Brahman at mga Brahmana), at sinasamba ng mga disiplinado at mararangal.
