स देवः संस्थितो देवि तस्मिंल्लिंगे महाप्रभः । यस्तत्पूजयते भक्त्या कल्ये लिंगं मम प्रियम् । षडक्षरेण मंत्रेण मृत्युं जयति तत्क्षणात्

Transliteration

sa devaḥ saṃsthito devi tasmiṃlliṃge mahāprabhaḥ | yastatpūjayate bhaktyā kalye liṃgaṃ mama priyam | ṣaḍakṣareṇa maṃtreṇa mṛtyuṃ jayati tatkṣaṇāt

Translation

ഹേ ദേവി, ആ മഹാപ്രഭുവായ ദേവൻ ആ ലിംഗത്തിൽ പ്രതിഷ്ഠിതനാണ്। ആരെങ്കിലും പ്രഭാതത്തിൽ ഭക്തിയോടെ എനിക്ക് പ്രിയമായ ആ ലിംഗത്തെ പൂജിച്ചാൽ, ഷഡക്ഷരി മന്ത്രത്താൽ അന്നേ ക്ഷണത്തിൽ മരണത്തെ ജയിക്കുന്നു।
