ये भद्रकल्पे अतुलिय दक्षिणेया भेष्यन्ति धीरा हतरजनिष्किलेशा ।
पूजेष्यि सर्वा अतुलियबोधिहेतोः न मह्य कांक्षा अन्या हि अस्ति किंचित् ॥ २९ ॥

ye bhadrakalpe atuliya dakṣiṇeyā bheṣyanti dhīrā hatarajaniṣkileśā |
pūjeṣyi sarvā atuliyabodhihetoḥ na mahya kāṃkṣā anyā hi asti kiṃcit || 29 ||

“And all the matchless ones, worthy of offerings, that will be in some auspicious kalpa, wise, with defilements destroyed and rid of the lusts, may I be able to worship them all by reason of my incomparable enlightenment. No other desire whatsoever is mine” (29)
