O king, these pieces of flesh that you have cut off from your body with your sword to save me, have made gashes in your body. I shall make these marks auspicious. They will be handsome, golden-coloured and sweet-scented.
यामेतां पेशीं मम निष्क्रयाय प्रादाद् भवानसिनोत्कृत्य राजन्। एतद् वो लक्ष्म शिवं करोमि हिरण्यवर्णं रुचिरं पुण्यगन्धम्॥
