ममार्चनविधिं कृत्वा मम लोके महीयते ।। दुःखमेवं प्रवक्ष्यामि तच्छृणुष्व वसुन्धरे
mamārcanavidhiṃ kṛtvā mama loke mahīyate || duḥkham evaṃ pravakṣyāmi tac chṛṇuṣva vasundhare
Sau khi thực hiện nghi thức thờ phụng Ta, người ấy được tôn vinh trong cõi của Ta. Nay Ta sẽ giảng về khổ đau theo cách này; hãy lắng nghe điều ấy, hỡi Vasundharā (Đất Mẹ).
