Devanagari script
सगर्भो ऽगर्भ इत्युक्तः सजपो विजपः क्रमात् इभो वा शरभो वापि दुराधर्षो ऽथ केसरी
Transliteration
sagarbho 'garbha ityuktaḥ sajapo vijapaḥ kramāt ibho vā śarabho vāpi durādharṣo 'tha kesarī
Translation
He is called ‘Sagarbha’ and also ‘Agarbha’—with form and yet beyond all wombs. In due order He is ‘Sajapa’ and ‘Vijapa’, the Lord of mantra that is uttered and the mantra that resounds unuttered within. He is the Elephant and the Śarabha as well—invincible, unassailable—and also the Lion, the sovereign who overpowers all bonds of the paśu and stands as Pati, the supreme Protector.
