शं नो देवी पृश्निपर्ण्य् अशं निरृत्या अकः । उग्रा हि कण्वजम्भनी ताम् अभक्षि सहस्वतीम्

śaṃ no devī pṛśniparṇy aśaṃ nirṛtyā akaḥ | ugrā hi kaṇvajambhanī tām abhakṣi sahasvatīm

The goddess Pṛśniparṇī has made weal for us, and ill for Nirṛti; for she is fierce, a crusher of the Kaṇvas. Her, the powerful one, I have partaken of.
