सर्वंददस्य पुर जातिर् अभूषि सिद्धा आचारदानदमथैर् जगतीहितेषी ।
सविघ्नरूपचरितो तद् अभूषि शक्रो मा च्यावयिष्यति ममेष इतो ग्रस्थानात ॥ ३ ॥

sarvaṃdadasya pura jātir abhūṣi siddhā ācāradānadamathair jagatīhiteṣī |
savighnarūpacarito tad abhūṣi śakro mā cyāvayiṣyati mameṣa ito grasthānāta || 3 ||

Sarvamdada had once achieved a life in which he blessed the whole world with the benefits of his practice of charity and self-control. And Shakra then lived as one who was opposed, and feared lest Sarvamdada should dislodge him from his sovereignty. (3)
