ब्रह्मनारायणस्तवः — शिवस्य प्रभवत्व-प्रतिपादनम्

Devanagari script

नमो ऽकृत्याय कृत्याय मुण्डाय कीकटाय च नम उन्मत्तदेहाय किङ्किणीकाय वै नमः

Transliteration

namo 'kṛtyāya kṛtyāya muṇḍāya kīkaṭāya ca nama unmattadehāya kiṅkiṇīkāya vai namaḥ

Translation

礼敬无相者，亦礼敬示现诸相者；礼敬剃首苦行者，亦礼敬即便行于卑贱之处仍自在游行的主。礼敬其身似狂放、沉醉于神圣自由者；确然礼敬佩戴叮当铃铛之主。
