Devanagari script

उत्तरांशे समुद्रस्य क्षीरोदस्या मृतोदधेः । यः शेते शाश्वतं योगमास्थाय परवीरहा । स कथं त्यक्तवान्देहं प्रभासे परमेश्वरः

uttarāṃśe samudrasya kṣīrodasyā mṛtodadheḥ | yaḥ śete śāśvataṃ yogamāsthāya paravīrahā | sa kathaṃ tyaktavāndehaṃ prabhāse parameśvaraḥ

Translation

جو سمندر کے شمالی حصّے میں، کِشیروَدھ (دودھ کے سمندر) اس اَمر اُدھی پر، ازلی یوگ میں قائم ہو کر شَیَن کرتا ہے، دشمن ویروں کا قاتل—وہ پرمیشور پربھاس میں جسم کیسے چھوڑ سکتا ہے؟
