Translation
Remember Ardhanārīśvara, whose two halves shine alike as vermilion sindūra and gold, bearing the emblems of Hara and the Mountain-Daughter. Recalling the beloved hand that holds two nooses (pāśa) and the rosary-ring (akṣavalaya), place the nyāsa upon the stations of the letters to attain the desired aim.
