यश्चानेन महादेवि द्वे संध्येऽस्तमनोदये । स्तौत्यर्कं प्रयतो भूत्वा सर्वपापैः प्रमुच्यते । सर्वकामसमृद्धात्मा सूर्यलोकं स गच्छति

Translation

ഹേ മഹാദേവി! ഈ സ്തവംകൊണ്ട് അസ്തമയവും ഉദയവും എന്ന രണ്ടു സന്ധ്യാകാലങ്ങളിൽ নিয়മത്തോടെ സൂര്യനെ സ്തുതിക്കുന്നവൻ സർവ്വപാപങ്ങളിൽ നിന്നു വിമുക്തനാകും; സർവ്വകാമസമൃദ്ധനായി സൂര്യലോകത്തിലേക്ക് ഗമിക്കും।
