Transliteration

atha yadi bhavapūjāṃ divyapuṣpaiḥ karoti tadanu śivaśiveti stotrapāṭhaṃ ca gītam | suravara gaṇavṛndaiḥ stūyamāno vimānaiḥ suravaraśivarūpo mānavo yāti nākam

Translation

ആരെങ്കിലും ദിവ്യപുഷ്പങ്ങളാൽ ഭവനെ (ശിവനെ) പൂജിച്ച്, തുടർന്ന് ‘ശിവ ശിവ’ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു സ്തോത്രപാഠവും ഗാനവും ചെയ്താൽ, ആ മനുഷ്യൻ ശ്രേഷ്ഠ ദേവഗണങ്ങളാൽ സ്തുതിക്കപ്പെട്ട് ദിവ്യവിമാനങ്ങളിൽ ആരൂഢനായി, ദേവലോകത്തിൽ ശിവസദൃശ രൂപം പ്രാപിച്ച് സ്വർഗ്ഗത്തിലേക്ക് പോകുന്നു।
