ब्रह्मदण्डाद्विमुक्तोऽहं सद्यस्तेऽच्युत दर्शनात् । यन्नाम गृह्णन्नखिलान् श्रोतृनात्मानमेव च । सद्य: पुनाति किं भूयस्तस्य स्पृष्ट: पदा हि ते ॥ १७ ॥
brahma-daṇḍād vimukto ’haṁ sadyas te ’cyuta darśanāt yan-nāma gṛhṇann akhilān śrotṝn ātmānam eva ca sadyaḥ punāti kiṁ bhūyas tasya spṛṣṭaḥ padā hi te
不失者阿周陀啊，我仅因得见你，便立刻脱离婆罗门的惩罚。凡称诵你圣名者，能即刻净化听闻者与自身；那么触及你莲华圣足，其利益岂不更为广大！
