शुक्लपक्षे चतुर्दश्यां कार्तिके जागरं तु यः । करिष्यति पुनश्चास्य लिंगस्य सुसमाहितः । आजन्मप्रभवात्पापात्स विमुक्तिमवाप्स्यति
śuklapakṣe caturdaśyāṃ kārtike jāgaraṃ tu yaḥ | kariṣyati punaścāsya liṃgasya susamāhitaḥ | ājanmaprabhavātpāpātsa vimuktimavāpsyati
କାର୍ତ୍ତିକ ଶୁକ୍ଳପକ୍ଷର ଚତୁର୍ଦ୍ଦଶୀରେ ସୁସମାହିତ ହୋଇ ଯେ ଜାଗରଣ କରିବ, ଏବଂ ଏହି ଲିଙ୍ଗ ପାଇଁ ପୁନର୍ବାର ଏହି ବିଧି ଭକ୍ତିରେ ଆଚରିବ, ସେ ଜନ୍ମଠାରୁ ସଞ୍ଚିତ ପାପରୁ ମୁକ୍ତି ପାଇବ।
