ध्यानेनैव प्रपश्यंति देवाश्च मुनयो विभुम् । कामोदा सा महाभागा यदा हसति मोहिनि ॥ १२ ॥
dhyānenaiva prapaśyaṃti devāśca munayo vibhum | kāmodā sā mahābhāgā yadā hasati mohini || 12 ||
Chỉ nhờ thiền định, chư thiên và các bậc hiền triết mới chiêm kiến Đấng Toàn Năng khắp cùng. Khi ấy, nàng Kāmodā phúc đức vô song—duyên dáng mê hoặc—khẽ mỉm cười.
