Devanagari script
न तस्य शक्यते वक्तुं पुण्यं शतयुगैरपि जीर्णं वा पतितं वापि खण्डितं स्फुटितं तथा
Transliteration
na tasya śakyate vaktuṃ puṇyaṃ śatayugairapi jīrṇaṃ vā patitaṃ vāpi khaṇḍitaṃ sphuṭitaṃ tathā
Translation
Das heilige Verdienst, das aus der Verehrung des Śiva-Liṅga erwächst, lässt sich selbst über hundert Yugas hinweg nicht vollständig aussprechen. Auch wenn der Liṅga alt ist, gefallen, zerbrochen oder gesprungen — die mit Bhakti dargebrachte Verehrung trägt unfehlbare Frucht.
