यानि लिंगानि भूर्लोके सोमेशस्तेषु मे प्रियः । अस्मिंल्लिंगे गुणा ये तु ते देवि विदिता मम
yāni liṃgāni bhūrloke someśasteṣu me priyaḥ | asmiṃlliṃge guṇā ye tu te devi viditā mama
Von allen Liṅgas in der Welt der Sterblichen ist mir Someśa der liebste. Und die Eigenschaften, die in diesem Liṅga wohnen, o Devī, sind mir bekannt.
