तां तस्मात्तत्र गत्वाहं वरं दत्त्वा तु वाञ्छितम् । पुनस्तपः करिष्यामि दर्शयिष्यामि वा पुनः । वैष्णवं विश्वरूपं यद्दुर्दश्यं देवदानवैः

“پس میں وہاں اس کے پاس جا کر اس کی من چاہی مراد کا ور دوں گا۔ پھر میں دوبارہ تپسیا کروں گا اور ایک بار پھر وہ ویشنوَی ویشورूप ظاہر کروں گا، جو دیوتاؤں اور دانَووں کے لیے بھی دشوارِ دید ہے۔”
