Devanagari script
तेषामपि विधिं पुण्यं श्रोतुमिच्छामि शड्कर । वानप्रस्थेषु देवेश स्वशरीरोपजीविषु
Translation
O Śaṅkara, nais ko ring marinig ang banal na tuntunin para sa mga vānaprastha. O Panginoon ng mga diyos, ang mga dakilang kaluluwang vānaprastha ay nabubuhay sa pamamagitan ng pagtitiis ng hirap sa sarili nilang katawan; kaya ibig kong marinig ang mga dalisay na tungkulin o alituntuning dapat nilang sundin.
