यो याति चंडिकां द्रष्टुमबुर्दं प्रति पार्थिव । नृत्यंति पितरस्तस्य गर्जंति च पितामहाः
yo yāti caṃḍikāṃ draṣṭumaburdaṃ prati pārthiva | nṛtyaṃti pitarastasya garjaṃti ca pitāmahāḥ
Hỡi vua, ai đến Arbuda để chiêm bái Caṇḍikā—thì tổ tiên người ấy hân hoan nhảy múa, và cả các bậc tiền nhân cũng reo vang lời khải hoàn.
