यास्तु गंधांबुकणिकाः पतंति धरणीतले । ताभिराप्यायनं तेषां ये देवत्वमुपागताः
yāstu gaṃdhāṃbukaṇikāḥ pataṃti dharaṇītale | tābhirāpyāyanaṃ teṣāṃ ye devatvamupāgatāḥ
زمین پر گرنے والے خوشبودار پانی کے ننھے قطرے—انہی کے ذریعے وہ مرحومین جو دیوتاؤں کی حالت کو پہنچ گئے ہیں، پرورش پاتے اور تازگی حاصل کرتے ہیں۔

Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Addressed as 'putra/child' in the surrounding instruction
Scene: Perfumed water droplets fall onto earth at a coastal tīrtha; above, luminous deva-like ancestors receive refreshment, shown as radiant figures with gentle smiles.
