तथैव च मनुष्येषु ये मनुष्याः प्रधानतः। आस्तिकाः श्रद्दधानाश्च बहुभिर्जन्मभिः स्तवैः॥ भक्त्या ह्यनन्यमीशानं परं देवं सनातनम्। कर्मणा मनसा वाचा भावेनामिततेजसः॥ शयाना जाग्रमाणाश्च व्रजन्नुपविशंस्तथा। उन्मिषन् निमिषंश्चैव चिन्तयन्तः पुनः पुनः॥ शृण्वन्तः श्रावयन्तश्च कथयन्तश्च ते भवम्। स्तुवन्तः स्तूयमानाश्च तुष्यन्ति च रमन्ति च॥
