- उद्धृतनग नगभिदनुज दनुजकुलामित्र मित्रशशिदृष्टे ।
- O uplifter of the mountain, breaker of the mountain, friend of the gods, foe of the demon race, friend of the moon-faced one.
- दृष्टे भवति प्रभवति न भवति किं भवतिरस्कारः ॥४॥
- Once seen, what pride of becoming can remain or not remain?
Vision of the Lord who sustains the cosmos leaves no room for the ego's pride. When the supreme is known, the fiction of a separate becoming self loses its force.
