निष्कामस्तु पुनर्यो मां तस्मिन्काले नृपोत्तम । पूजयिष्यति सद्भक्त्या पुष्पधूपानुलेपनैः । सर्वपापविनिर्मुक्तो मम लोकं स यास्यति
niṣkāmastu punaryo māṃ tasminkāle nṛpottama | pūjayiṣyati sadbhaktyā puṣpadhūpānulepanaiḥ | sarvapāpavinirmukto mama lokaṃ sa yāsyati
然而,若有人在彼时,噢诸王之最胜者,以无所求之心真诚礼敬我,奉献花、香与涂香;此人将脱离一切罪垢,往生于我的世界。
