Shloka 3
इष्टानां च महात्मानो भक्तानां च न संशय: । कुर्वन्ति भक्तिमिष्टां च जानीषे त्वं च भास्कर,प्रभाकर! आप भी जानते ही हैं कि महात्मा पुरुष भी अपने प्रिय भक्तोंपर पूर्ण स्नेह रखते हैं, इसमें संदेह नहीं है
iṣṭānāṃ ca mahātmāno bhaktānāṃ ca na saṃśayaḥ | kurvanti bhaktim iṣṭāṃ ca jānīṣe tvaṃ ca bhāskara prabhākara ||
Wika ni Karṇa: “Walang pag-aalinlangan na maging ang mga dakilang-loob ay nag-iingat ng malalim na pagmamahal sa mga debotong minamahal nila. Pag-ibig ang isinusukli sa pag-ibig; batid mo rin ito, O Bhāskara, O Prabhākara (Araw).”
