tataḥ pravṛtte vārāhe kalpe tvaṃ surasundari | punarhimavatārādhya duhitā tvamataḥ kṛtā
Pagkaraan, nang magsimula ang Vārāha-kalpa, O kagandahan sa mga diyos, matapos mong sambahin at palugdan si Himavat, Panginoon ng mga bundok, ikaw ay muling ginawang anak na babae ni Himavat.

Scene: Himavat personified as a regal mountain-king performing worship; the Devī descends as his daughter (Pārvatī/Umā), while a subtle Varāha emblem in the sky marks the Vārāha-kalpa. The contrast of snowy peaks and divine radiance dominates.
