श्रवणादीनि पंचैव नक्षत्राणि पृथक्पृथक् । तव पूजाकृते पंच क्रतुतुल्यानि तानि च । भविष्यंति न संदेहः सर्वतीर्थमयानि च
śravaṇādīni paṃcaiva nakṣatrāṇi pṛthakpṛthak | tava pūjākṛte paṃca kratutulyāni tāni ca | bhaviṣyaṃti na saṃdehaḥ sarvatīrthamayāni ca
ശ്രവണ മുതലായ അഞ്ചു നക്ഷത്രങ്ങൾ—ഓരോന്നും വേറേ—നിന്റെ പൂജയ്ക്കായി ആചരിക്കപ്പെടുകയാണെങ്കിൽ, അവ അഞ്ചു ക്രതുക്കൾക്കു തുല്യഫലം നൽകും. സംശയമില്ല; അവ സർവതീർത്ഥപുണ്യസാരമായിരിക്കും.
