नामभिश्च क्रमेणैव युष्मदीयैः स्वयं द्विजाः । विश्वामित्रह्रदे स्नात्वा एता मूर्तीर्ममात्र वै । पूजयिष्यंति ये मर्त्यास्ते यास्यंति परां गतिम्
nāmabhiśca krameṇaiva yuṣmadīyaiḥ svayaṃ dvijāḥ | viśvāmitrahrade snātvā etā mūrtīrmamātra vai | pūjayiṣyaṃti ye martyāste yāsyaṃti parāṃ gatim
“اور اے برہمنو، تم خود ہی ترتیب کے ساتھ اپنے اپنے ناموں سے انہیں نام دو گے۔ جو فانی وشوامتر کے ہرد میں اشنان کرکے یہاں میری اِن مورتیوں کی پوجا کریں گے، وہ اعلیٰ ترین گتی کو پہنچیں گے۔”
