Devanagari script
नमो धूम्राय श्वेताय कृष्णाय लोहिताय च पिशिताय पिशङ्गाय पीताय च निषङ्गिणे
Transliteration
namo dhūmrāya śvetāya kṛṣṇāya lohitāya ca piśitāya piśaṅgāya pītāya ca niṣaṅgiṇe
Translation
Salutations to the Smoke-hued One, to the White One, to the Dark One, and to the Red One; salutations to Him who appears flesh-colored, tawny, and yellow—and to the Lord who bears the sword at His side. Thus is Pati praised as the One who assumes all colors and forms, while remaining the inner ruler beyond the guṇas.
