ब्रह्मा सहस्रा उपगता बोधिमण्डं शक्रश् च देवा अधिपति गुह्यकानां ।
येहि दृष्टा पुरिमकलोकनाथा ते देवता च प्रणता स्वयंभुं ॥ ११२ ॥

brahmā sahasrā upagatā bodhimaṇḍaṃ śakraś ca devā adhipati guhyakānāṃ |
yehi dṛṣṭā purimakalokanāthā te devatā ca praṇatā svayaṃbhuṃ || 112 ||

Thousands of Brahmas came to the bodhi throne, and the deva Shakra, lord of the Guhyakas, too; the devas who had seen former saviours of the world came to bow before the Self-becoming One. (112)
