  o vāḷītī prabhuteṃ rukumīṇī sahīteṃ vaṃdīte devavṛdeṃ.183.
  1989 translation by Ian Matthew Paton Raeside
  There close by Śrī Cakrapāṇi on his turquoise throne Rukmiṇī
  Sat upon a gorgeous seat set with diamonds and gomeda
  stones. For Śrī Murāri
  Garga performs the sacrament of aspersion with holy water
  and, with offerings and words of blessing,
  The concourse of gods salute Prabhu and Rukmiṇī together.
