पुरा त्वमरबन्दीनामसुरेः संस्तुतं मुखम् ।
अद्य त्वसुरबन्दीनां सुरैरालोकितं मुखम् ॥ ५१ ॥

purā tvamarabandīnāmasureḥ saṃstutaṃ mukham |
adya tvasurabandīnāṃ surairālokitaṃ mukham || 51 ||

Here is the whitish conch in the hand of my Hari, which is sonant with its fivefold notes (panchajanya), and is as bright as the vacuum—the receptacle of sound, and as white as the milky ocean of heavens.
