हरचरणनिरतमतिना भवितव्यमनार्जवं युगं प्राप्य । संसारभयं न भवति हरभक्तिरसायनं पीत्वा
Translation
Sa panahong Kali na baluktot at mapanlinlang, dapat ituon ng tao ang isip sa pagninilay sa mga paa ni Hara. Kapag nainom na ang “rasāyana” ng debosyon kay Śiva, nawawala ang takot sa sakit na tinatawag na saṃsāra.
