जो स्वर्ग और मोक्ष के मार्ग का अनुसन्धान करने वालों के लिए इष्ट है, जो सद्-धर्म के तत्त्व-कथन में अद्वितीय कुशल है, जो तीनों लोकों के लिए स्पष्ट अर्थ — सब भाषाओं के स्वभाव में परिणत होने के गुण से युक्त है — आपकी ऐसी दिव्य-ध्वनि (वाणी) होती है।
Sought after by those searching for the path to heaven and to liberation; supreme in expounding the truth of *sad-dharma*; reaching the three worlds with clear meaning — naturally transforming into every language by its very quality — such is Your divine voice (*divya-dhvani*).
