यथा च मधुरं दुन्दुभी नदन्ति गगनतलं स्फुटं सर्वम् अम्बरेहि ।
यथा च कुसुमा वर्षे देवसंघो भविष्यसि लोके सदेवको स्वयंभूः ॥ ९३ ॥

yathā ca madhuraṃ dundubhī nadanti gaganatalaṃ sphuṭaṃ sarvam ambarehi |
yathā ca kusumā varṣe devasaṃgho bhaviṣyasi loke sadevako svayaṃbhūḥ || 93 ||

“And inasmuch as drums sweetly resounded through the sky thus entirely filled with their garments, and the hosts of devas rained down flowers, thou wilt become a Self-becoming One in the world of men and devas. (93)
