“O Goddess, faithful, virtuous, and companion in my sacred duties,
pious towards brahmins and offering refuge, you are ever dear to me, O beloved! // 131
Even what should not be done must certainly be done by me for your sake, O Goddess;
how much more that which is combined with glory and endowed with righteousness? // 132
The brahmins have been gratified by you, O Goddess, and so too the gods along with the Gaṇas;
and this little son, the Aśoka tree, has been adopted by you, O beloved. // 133
