पूज्यो लिङ्गे न संदेहः सर्वदा श्रद्धया द्विजैः श्रद्धा धर्मः परः सूक्ष्मः श्रद्धा ज्ञानं हुतं तपः

pūjyo liṅge na saṃdehaḥ sarvadā śraddhayā dvijaiḥ śraddhā dharmaḥ paraḥ sūkṣmaḥ śraddhā jñānaṃ hutaṃ tapaḥ

Translation

Não há dúvida: o Liṅga é sempre digno de culto pelos dvija, realizado com śraddhā. A śraddhā em si é o dharma supremo e sutil; a śraddhā em si é o verdadeiro conhecimento, a oferenda sacrificial e a austeridade.
