पितामहेशान्नैरृत्यां पूजनीयं प्रयत्नतः । गदाधरेश्वरं लिंगं पितॄणां परितृप्तिदम्
pitāmaheśānnairṛtyāṃ pūjanīyaṃ prayatnataḥ | gadādhareśvaraṃ liṃgaṃ pitṝṇāṃ paritṛptidam
పితామహేశ్వరుని నైరృత్య (దక్షిణ-పడమర) దిశలో శ్రద్ధతో గదాధరేశ్వర నామ లింగాన్ని పూజించవలెను; అది పితృదేవతలకు పరితృప్తిని ప్రసాదిస్తుంది.
