asminsthāne sadā tiṣṭha munīnāṃ hitakāmyayā | kaṃṭakāḥ śoṣitā daityāstena kaṃṭakaśoṣiṇī | adyaprabhṛti nāmāstu tena devi sadā tviha

Translation

“ข้าแต่เทวี โปรดประทับ ณ สถานที่นี้เป็นนิตย์ ด้วยพระประสงค์เกื้อกูลเหล่ามุนี เพราะท่านได้ทำให้เหล่าไทตยะ—ดุจ ‘หนาม’—เหือดแห้งพินาศ ฉะนั้น ณ ที่นี้ขอให้พระนามของท่านเป็น ‘กันฏกโชษิณี’ ผู้ทำให้หนามเหือดแห้ง ตั้งแต่วันนี้เป็นต้นไป ข้าแต่เทวี ขอให้พระนามนั้นดำรง และโปรดประทับอยู่ที่นี่เสมอ”
