देवतापरमार्थज्ञं मामेव परमम्विदुः ॥ मदंशाश्शक्तिसम्पन्ना ब्रह्मशक्रादयस्सुराः ॥ ३१॥

They know me, the knower of the reality of the divinity, as the greatest. Brahmā, Indra and other gods are powerful in as much as they are my own parts.

Brahmā, the creator of the universe who was formerly born of my umbilical lotus is greater than all, being independent, maker, remover and the lord of all.

This is my greatest glory. What else do you wish to hear again? Hence seek refuge in me and return to your abodes being freed from feverish ailment.
