ये दक्षिणा मूर्त्तिमुपाश्रिताः स्युर्जपंति नित्यं शतरुद्रियं द्विजाः । तेऽस्मिन्भवे नैव पुनर्भवंति संसारपारं परमं गता वै

Transliteration

ye dakṣiṇā mūrttimupāśritāḥ syurjapaṃti nityaṃ śatarudriyaṃ dvijāḥ | te'sminbhave naiva punarbhavaṃti saṃsārapāraṃ paramaṃ gatā vai

Translation

Those twice-born who take refuge in the Southern Form and who daily recite the Śatarudrīya are not born again in this state of existence; truly they reach the supreme far shore beyond saṃsāra.
