यंयं काममभिध्यायेत्तंतं सर्वेषु दुर्लभम् । स तदाऽप्नोत्यसंदिग्धं दृष्ट्वा शंखेश्वरं शुभम्
yaṃyaṃ kāmamabhidhyāyettaṃtaṃ sarveṣu durlabham | sa tadā'pnotyasaṃdigdhaṃ dṛṣṭvā śaṃkheśvaraṃ śubham
ఎవడు ఏ ఏ కోరికను మనసులో ధ్యానిస్తాడో—అది అందరిలోనూ దుర్లభమైనదైనా—శుభమైన శంఖేశ్వరుని దర్శించగానే అతడు దానిని నిస్సందేహంగా పొందుతాడు।
