The Glory of Gokarṇa: Description of Nandikeśvara’s Boon and the Assembly of Deities on Mount Muñjavat
यच्च मे प्रभुरव्यग्रः प्रीतः पापहरो हरः ॥ विधाय पार्षदत्वं मे वरानिष्टान्ददौ शिवः ॥
yac ca me prabhur avyagraḥ prītaḥ pāpaharo haraḥ || vidhāya pārṣadatvaṃ me varān iṣṭān dadau śivaḥ ||
मेरे प्रभु हर मुझसे खुश थे। वो पाप मिटाने वाले थे। उन्होंने मुझे अपना साथी बना लिया। शिव जी ने मुझे वो वरदान दिए जो मैं चाहता था।
