निपात्य जानू शिरसापि वन्द्य कालोदायी याचति अप्रमेयं ॥ ५ ॥
idaṃ avikṣiptamanā śṛṇotha yathā jinaṃ apratimaṃ aneyaṃ |
nipātya jānū śirasāpi vandya kālodāyī yācati aprameyaṃ || 5 ||
Do ye now listen with rapt attention how, with bent knees and bowed head Kalodayin implored the infinite One, the peerless Conqueror who needs no guide. (5)
