yad etad bhagavān āha gaṇaḥ saptavidho raveḥ
maṇḍale himatāpādeḥ kāraṇaṃ tan mayā śrutam //

ṛṣīṇāṃ vālakhilyānāṃ tathaivāpsarasāṃ guro //

yakṣāṇāṃ ca rathe bhānor viṣṇuśaktidhṛtātmanām
kiṃ tvādityasya yat karma tan nātroktaṃ tvayā mune //

yadi saptagaṇo vāri himam uṣṇaṃ ca varṣati
tat kim atra raver yena vṛṣṭiḥ sūryād itīryate //

vivasvān udito madhye yāty astam iti kiṃ janaḥ
bravīty etat samaṃ karma yadi saptagaṇasya tat //

maitreya śrūyatām etad yad bhavān paripṛcchati
yathā saptagaṇe 'py ekaḥ prādhānyenādhiko raviḥ //

yā tu śaktiḥ parā viṣṇor ṛgyajuḥsāmasaṃjñitā
saiṣā trayī tapaty aṃho jagataś ca hinasti yat //

saiṣa viṣṇuḥ sthitaḥ sthityāṃ jagataḥ pālanodyataḥ

aṃśa eṣā trayī viṣṇor ṛgyajuḥsāmasaṃjñitā
viṣṇuśaktir avasthānaṃ sadāditye karoti sā //

na kevalaṃ raveḥ śaktir vaiṣṇavī sā trayīmayī
brahmātha puruṣo rudras trayam etat trayīmayam //

sargādau ṛṅmayo brahmā sthitau viṣṇur yajurmayaḥ
rudraḥ sāmamayo 'ntāya tasmāt tasyāśucir dhvaniḥ //

evaṃ sā sāttvikī śaktir vaiṣṇavī yā trayīmayī

evaṃ sā vaiṣṇavī śaktir naivāpaiti tato dvija
māsānumāsaṃ bhāsvantam adhyāste tatra saṃsthitam //

pitṛdevamanuṣyādīn sa sadāpyāyayan prabhuḥ
parivartaty ahorātra kāraṇaṃ savitā dvija //

sūryaraśmiḥ suṣumṇo yas tarpitas tena candramāḥ
kṛṣṇapakṣe 'maraiḥ śaśvat pīyate vai sudhāmayaḥ //

pītaṃ taṃ dvikalaṃ somaṃ kṛṣṇapakṣakṣaye dvija
pibanti pitaras teṣāṃ bhāskarāt tarpaṇaṃ tathā //

ādatte raśmibhir yaṃ tu kṣitisaṃsthaṃ rasaṃ raviḥ
tam utsṛjati bhūtānāṃ puṣṭyarthaṃ sasyavṛddhaye //

tena prīṇāty aśeṣāṇi bhūtāni bhagavān raviḥ
pitṛdevamanuṣyādīn evam āpyāyayaty asau //

pakṣatṛptiṃ tu devānāṃ pitṝṇāṃ caiva māsikīm
śaśvat tṛptiṃ ca martyānāṃ maitreyārkaḥ prayacchati //
