Verse 64.123
न तुभ्य अस्ति सदृशो कुतोत्तरो देवो व नागो मनुजो व लोके ।
सर्वां अभिभोसि दिशतां शिरीये घनाभ्रमुक्तो गगणे व चन्द्रो ॥ १२३ ॥
na tubhya asti sadṛśo kutottaro devo va nāgo manujo va loke |
sarvāṃ abhibhosi diśatāṃ śirīye ghanābhramukto gagaṇe va candro || 123 ||
“There is none equal to thee in the world, far less a greater one, whether deva, Naga or man. Thou dost dominate with thy glory all quarters of the world, like the moon in the sky emerging from a cloud. (123)
