उमामहेश्वरव्रतं—पञ्चाक्षरमन्त्रस्य माहात्म्यं, न्यासः, जपविधिः, सदाचारः, विनियोगः

Devanagari script

समीपस्थो ऽप्यनुज्ञाप्य वदेत्तद्विमुखो गुरुम् एवमाचारवान् भक्तो नित्यं जपपरायणः

Transliteration

samīpastho 'pyanujñāpya vadettadvimukho gurum evamācāravān bhakto nityaṃ japaparāyaṇaḥ

Translation

Kahit nakaupo nang malapit, magsalita lamang matapos humingi at tumanggap ng pahintulot, at huwag kausapin ang Guru habang nakatalikod o nakaharap sa iba. Ang bhakta na nakatatag sa ganitong wastong asal ay laging nakatuon sa japa—matatag sa disiplinang nagdadala sa paśu (nakagapos na kaluluwa) tungo sa biyaya ng Pati (Śiva).
