मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु।मामेवैष्यसि सत्यं ते प्रतिजाने प्रियोऽसि मे॥

manmanā bhava madbhakto madyājī māṃ namaskuru |māmevaiṣyasi satyaṃ te pratijāne priyo'si me ||

Fix your mind on Me, be devoted to Me, sacrifice to Me, bow down to Me. You will come to Me; I truly promise you this, for you are dear to Me.
