Devanagari script
सदृशो<5रण्यवासीनां मुनीनां भावितात्मनाम् | “जिनका अन्त:ःकरण पवित्र है, वे ही द्विज महादेवजीकी शरण लेते हैं। जो परमेश्वर शिवका भका है, वह सब प्रकारसे बर्तता हुआ भी पवित्र अन्तःकरणवाले वनवासी मुनियोंके समान है || ६३ $ ।। ब्रह्मत्वं केशवत्वं वा शक्रत्वं वा सुरैः सह
Translation
“Only those whose inner heart is pure—those are the true twice-born—take refuge in Mahādeva. Whoever is devoted to the Supreme Lord Śiva, however he may conduct himself, is like the forest-dwelling sages whose souls are disciplined.”
