Shloka 71
नान्निर्दहति काष्ठानि सावित्री यत्र पठ्यते । न तत्र बालो प्रियते न च तिष्ठन्ति पन्नगा:
nānnirdahati kāṣṭhāni sāvitryā yatra paṭhyate | na tatra bālo priyate na ca tiṣṭhanti pannagāḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：在持诵娑维特丽（Sāvitrī，伽耶特丽）之处，火不吞噬木构之物；在那里，幼子不致夭亡，蛇类亦不久留。此偈称颂以戒律持诵圣咒所具的护佑与净化之力，将其视为护持家宅与群体安宁的法（dharma）之保障。
