Devanagari script

भर्तृयज्ञस्तु तत्रैव लिंगस्याराधनात्क्रमात् । बीजदोषाद्विनिर्मुक्तस्तल्लिंगमहिमा त्वसौ

Transliteration

bhartṛyajñastu tatraiva liṃgasyārādhanātkramāt | bījadoṣādvinirmuktastalliṃgamahimā tvasau

Translation

Bhartṛyajña wurde dort selbst durch die ordnungsgemäße, schrittweise Verehrung jenes Liṅga völlig frei vom Makel in seinem eigenen „Samen“ (Wurzelursache/Abstammungs‑Karma). So groß ist wahrlich die Herrlichkeit dieses Liṅga.
