अहं सर्वस्य प्रभवो मत्तः सर्वं प्रवर्तते ।
इति मत्वा भजन्ते मां बुधा भावसमन्विताः ॥
इति मत्वा भजन्ते मां बुधा भावसमन्विताः ॥
Hindi · हिन्दी
मैं संसारमात्रका प्रभव मूलकारण हूँ, और मुझसे ही सारा संसार प्रवृत्त हो रहा है अर्थात् चेष्टा कर रहा है ऐसा मेरेको मानकर मेरेमें ही श्रद्धाप्रेम रखते हुए बुद्धिमान् भक्त मेरा ही भजन करते हैं सब प्रकारसे मेरे ही शरण होते हैं ॥
