Now Dipti's mother Pallaviben and Janak's mother Deepikaben will put an auspicious Tilak on the forehead of the bride and the groom. Payalbahen will tie the Mindhal on the right hand of the bride and the groom. Bhaktibahen will tie the holy Rakshapotali on the right arms of both the parents. Now, the recital of the Mangal Tilak verses will follow.

May all the Tirthankars right from Rushabhdev to Mahavir, the sovereign rulers like Bharat and others, as well as, Vasudevas and Prativasudevas (anti vasudevas), be good to us.
May the mothers right from Shri Marudevi to Trishalamata, the mothers of the Tirthankaras, the delighters to three worlds, be for my good. May, the principal gods and godesses of Jainism, like Chakreshwari and Siddhayika, remove my obstacles and bestow victory and wealth on me.)
