- प्रणम्रेष्वेतेषु प्रसभमुपयातस्य भवनं

- भवस्याभ्युत्थाने तव परिजनोक्तिर्विजयते ॥२९॥
- at Shiva's rising, Your attendants' word prevails
The crowns of gods are obstacles before the Goddess's feet where Shiva rises. True devotion leaves behind even celestial rank; the word of Her attendants prevails because surrender outranks every worldly or divine status.
