Devanagari script

अथ यदि भवपूजां दिव्यपुष्पैः करोति तदनु शिवशिवेति स्तोत्रपाठं च गीतम् । सुरवर गणवृन्दैः स्तूयमानो विमानैः सुरवरशिवरूपो मानवो याति नाकम्

Transliteration

atha yadi bhavapūjāṃ divyapuṣpaiḥ karoti tadanu śivaśiveti stotrapāṭhaṃ ca gītam | suravara gaṇavṛndaiḥ stūyamāno vimānaiḥ suravaraśivarūpo mānavo yāti nākam

Translation

Und wenn jemand Bhava mit göttlichen Blumen verehrt und danach Hymnen rezitiert und das Lob „Śiva, Śiva“ singt—so wird dieser Mensch von Scharen erhabener Götter gepriesen und auf himmlischen Vimānas getragen; er gelangt in den Himmel und erlangt unter den Göttern eine Gestalt, die Śiva gleicht.
