काले दारक्रियां तस्य चिन्तयामास शंकरः । स उवाच प्रसन्नात्मा गांगेयममितद्युतिम्
kāle dārakriyāṃ tasya cintayāmāsa śaṃkaraḥ | sa uvāca prasannātmā gāṃgeyamamitadyutim
مقررہ وقت پر شنکر نے اپنے بیٹے کے نکاحی سنسکار کا خیال کیا۔ خوش دل ہو کر اُس نے گنگا سے پیدا ہونے والے، بے پایاں جلال والے کو مخاطب کیا۔
