ब्रह्मनारायणस्तवः — शिवस्य प्रभवत्व-प्रतिपादनम्

Devanagari script

नमो ऽकृत्याय कृत्याय मुण्डाय कीकटाय च नम उन्मत्तदेहाय किङ्किणीकाय वै नमः

Transliteration

namo 'kṛtyāya kṛtyāya muṇḍāya kīkaṭāya ca nama unmattadehāya kiṅkiṇīkāya vai namaḥ

Translation

السجودُ للّاشكل ولمن يتشكّل بالأشكال؛ السجودُ للزاهدِ محلوقِ الرأس، وللسيّد الذي يطوفُ حتى بين ما يُحتقَر. السجودُ لمن يبدو جسدُه كالمُستهامِ سُكرًا بحرّيّةٍ إلهيّة؛ السجودُ حقًّا لمن تزيّنه الأجراسُ الرنّانة.
