ṛṣīṃśca devāṃśca mahāsurāṃśca traividyavidyānpuruṣānnṛpāṃśca | kānmṛtyureko na pateta kāle parāvarajño'tra na muhyate kvacit

Translation

رشی، دیوتا، بڑے اسور، تینوں ویدوں کے علم کے ماہر، انسان اور بادشاہ—وقت آنے پر وہ ایک موت کس پر نہیں گرتی؟ جو اعلیٰ و ادنیٰ کی حقیقت جانتا ہے، وہ یہاں کبھی فریب میں نہیں پڑتا۔
