देवेषु भोति मरुपति पूजनीयो दिव्यं च आयुं लभे तत्र क्षिप्रं ।
यशं च दिव्यं तथापि च दिव्यवर्णं दिव्यं च सौख्यं असदृशम् ईश्वरीयं ॥ ५९८ ॥

deveṣu bhoti marupati pūjanīyo divyaṃ ca āyuṃ labhe tatra kṣipraṃ |
yaśaṃ ca divyaṃ tathāpi ca divyavarṇaṃ divyaṃ ca saukhyaṃ asadṛśam īśvarīyaṃ || 598 ||

Among the devas he becomes an honoured lord of devas. Quickly he shall win there the span of life of devas, their glory, their beauty, their ease and matchless sovereignty. (598)
