Parāśara’s Instruction
Devanagari script
गजेन्द्रकर्ण गोकर्ण पाणिकर्ण नमोस्तु ते । आपके कान भी सब ओरे हैं। संसारमें जो कुछ है
Translation
“Pagpupugay sa iyo, O Gajendrakārṇa, Gokārṇa, Pāṇikārṇa. Ang iyong mga tainga ay nasa lahat ng dako; nilulukob mo ang lahat ng nasa sanlibutan at nananatili kang nakapaloob sa lahat. Śaṅkukārṇa, Mahākārṇa, Kumbhakārṇa, Argavālaya, Gajendrakārṇa, Gokārṇa, at Pāṇikārṇa—ang pitong kasamang ito ay mga anyo mo rin. Sa bawat anyong iyon, ako’y yumuyukod at nagpupugay.”
