करौ तत्कौतुककरौ मनो मनति नापरम् । शिवसात्कृत्यपेयानि पीयते तेन सद्धिया
karau tatkautukakarau mano manati nāparam | śivasātkṛtyapeyāni pīyate tena saddhiyā
اُس کے ہاتھ اسی خدمت میں مسرور رہتے ہیں؛ اور دل کسی اور طرف نہیں جاتا۔ صاف فہم کے ساتھ وہ صرف وہی پیتا ہے جو پہلے شِو کو نذر ہو کر پرساد بن جائے۔
