4.30.38

vayaṃ tu sākṣād bhagavan bhavasya priyasya sakhyuḥ kṣaṇa-saṅgamena /
suduścikitsyasya bhavasya mṛtyor bhiṣaktamaṃ tvādya gatiṃ gatāḥ sma //

38. For, O Lord, by a moment’s association with God Siva, the beloved friend, we are led to day to Thee, the goal and the best physician of life and death not easy to be cured by another.
