Devanagari script

अन्तर्धानं गतैर्नित्यं प्रभासं तु निषेव्यते । सप्तलोकेषु ये सन्ति सिद्धाः पातालवासिनः । प्रदक्षिणं ते कुर्वंति सोमेशं कालभैरवम्

Transliteration

antardhānaṃ gatairnityaṃ prabhāsaṃ tu niṣevyate | saptalokeṣu ye santi siddhāḥ pātālavāsinaḥ | pradakṣiṇaṃ te kurvaṃti someśaṃ kālabhairavam

Translation

Prabhāsa est sans cesse honoré par ceux qui se meuvent dans l’invisibilité. Les Siddha qui demeurent dans les régions souterraines à travers les sept mondes accomplissent la pradakṣiṇā, la circumambulation sacrée, autour de Someśa, le puissant Kālabhairava.
