Devanagari script

भूमिशय्यां च मासान्ते पौर्णमास्यां घृतादिभिः स्नाप्य रुद्रं महादेवं सम्पूज्य विधिपूर्वकम्

Transliteration

bhūmiśayyāṃ ca māsānte paurṇamāsyāṃ ghṛtādibhiḥ snāpya rudraṃ mahādevaṃ sampūjya vidhipūrvakam

Translation

À la fin du mois, le jour de pleine lune, qu’on s’étende sur la terre en vœu d’austérité; qu’on baigne Rudra—Mahādeva—de ghee et d’offrandes sacrées semblables, puis qu’on l’adore pleinement selon le rite prescrit. Par un tel culte discipliné, le paśu se tourne vers le Pati et relâche le pāśa par la dévotion et l’observance.
