(1) Mīna-maṇḍūka-makara-kūrmmāś cha jala-jantavaḥ ।
Kāryā dhātu-mayāś chaite karttṛī-vittānusārataḥ ॥
Matsyau svarṇamayau kuryāt maṇḍū vāpi hemajau ।
Rājatau makarau kūrmma-mithunaṁ tāmra-rītikam ॥
Etair jala-charaiḥ sārddhaṁ taḍāgam api dīrghikām ।
Sāgaraṁ cha samutsṛijya prārthayan nāgam archchayet ॥
