सततं कीर्तयन्तो मां यतन्तश्च दृढव्रताः।नमस्यन्तश्च मां भक्त्या नित्ययुक्ता उपासते॥

satataṃ kīrtayanto māṃ yatantaśca dṛḍhavratāḥ |namasyantaśca māṃ bhaktyā nityayuktā upāsate ||

Always glorifying Me, striving, firm in their vows, prostrating themselves before Me, they worship Me with steadfast devotion.
