प्रसादञ्च कुरुष्वात्र ब्रूह्यागमनकारणम् ।
देवानामिव संसर्गो भवतोऽभ्युदयो महान् ।
केनास्मद्भाग्यगुरुणा आनीतो दृष्टिगोचरम् ॥
prasādañ ca kuruṣvātra brūhy āgamanakāraṇam | devānām iva saṃsargo bhavato 'bhyudayo mahān | kenāsmadbhāgyaguruṇā ānīto dṛṣṭigocaram ||
Ipakita mo ang iyong pagpapala rito at sabihin sa akin ang dahilan ng iyong pagparito. Ang pakikisama sa iyo ay tulad ng pakikisama sa mga diyos (na nagkakaloob ng biyaya); ang iyong pagdating ay dakilang pagpapala. Sa anong mabigat na puwersa ng aming mabuting kapalaran ka nadala upang mapasok sa abot ng aming paningin?
