"O mother! You are fixed, you pervade all the universe, therefore you are called Viśvambharâ Devī! you are known by the names Dhṛiti, Sthiti, Kshamâ, Kshaunī, Pṛithvī Vasumatī and Rasâ Pray do protect me by all your above-mentioned forms' Afterwards the devotee should give away the Devī to the Brâhmaṇas One-half or one-fourth of the earth made of gold should be given to the preceptor (Guru) and the rest should be given away to the Ṛitvikas Then the Brâhmaṇas should be dismissed after being saluted—16-18
