नमो नमो नमस्ते>स्तु प्रभो इत्यब्रुवत् वच: । भगवान् त्रिलोचनकी आज्ञा पाकर स्वस्थचित्त हुए वे देवगण इस प्रकार उनकी स्तुति करने लगे--'प्रभो! आपको नमस्कार है, नमस्कार है, नमस्कार है
namo namo namaste ’stu prabho ity abruvat vacaḥ | bhagavān trilocanakyājñāṃ prāpya svasthacittāḥ te devagaṇāḥ evaṃ tasya stutiṃ kartum ārabdhāḥ— “prabho! tubhyaṃ namaskāraḥ, namaskāraḥ, namaskāraḥ” |
ಅವರು ಪುನಃಪುನಃ ನಮಸ್ಕರಿಸಿ— “ನಮೋ ನಮೋ, ನಮಸ್ತೇ’ಸ್ತು ಪ್ರಭೋ” ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದರು. ಭಗವಾನ್ ತ್ರಿಲೋಚನನ ಆಜ್ಞೆಯನ್ನು ಪಡೆದ ದೇವಗಣ ಶಾಂತರೂ ಸ್ಥಿರಚಿತ್ತರೂ ಆದರು; ನಂತರ ಈ ರೀತಿಯಾಗಿ ಅವರನ್ನು ಸ್ತುತಿಸಲು ಆರಂಭಿಸಿದರು— “ಪ್ರಭೋ! ನಿಮಗೆ ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ, ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ, ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ।”
