सिद्धमेव महाभागा भुंजते तद्धि नित्यदा । ततः परं महाशैलो दृश्यते लोकसंस्थितिः
siddhameva mahābhāgā bhuṃjate taddhi nityadā | tataḥ paraṃ mahāśailo dṛśyate lokasaṃsthitiḥ
وہی حالتِ کمال کو خوش نصیب سِدّھ ہمیشہ نِتّیہ بھوگتے رہتے ہیں۔ اس کے آگے ایک عظیم پہاڑ دکھائی دیتا ہے، جو عوالم کی قائم شدہ ترتیب کی نشانی ہے۔
