Verse 56.1
यन् तत्र तत्र मारो न प्रसहे मारुतो व हिमवन्तं ।
तं मृत्युराजप्रणुदं पूजयति सदेवको लोको ॥ १ ॥
yan tatra tatra māro na prasahe māruto va himavantaṃ |
taṃ mṛtyurājapraṇudaṃ pūjayati sadevako loko || 1 ||
Him, whom Mara at no time could overcome any more than the winds can overcome the Himalayas, him, the repeller of death, do the worlds of devas and men adore. (1)
