गजेन्द्रकर्ण गोकर्ण पाणिकर्ण नमोस्तु ते । आपके कान भी सब ओरे हैं। संसारमें जो कुछ है, सबको व्याप्त करके आप स्थित हैं। शंकुकर्ण, महाकर्ण, कुम्भकर्ण, अर्गवालय, गजेन्द्रकर्ण, गोकर्ण और पाणिकर्ण--ये सात पार्षद् आपके ही स्वरूप हैं। इन सबके रूपमें आपको नमस्कार है
Translation
“Homage to you—Gajendrakārṇa, Gokārṇa, Pāṇikārṇa. Your ears are in every direction; pervading all that is in the world, you abide. Śaṅkukārṇa, Mahākārṇa, Kumbhakārṇa, Argavālaya, Gajendrakārṇa, Gokārṇa, and Pāṇikārṇa—these seven attendants are your very forms. In all those forms, I bow to you.”
