Devanagari script

अघोरं वा जपेन्मन्त्रं गायत्र्यं च महेश्वरम् । षण्मासाभ्यन्तरेणैव जपेच्च मुनिसत्तमाः । अणिमादिगुणैश्वर्यं संसिद्धिं प्राप्नुयाद्ध्रुवम्

Transliteration

aghoraṃ vā japenmantraṃ gāyatryaṃ ca maheśvaram | ṣaṇmāsābhyantareṇaiva japecca munisattamāḥ | aṇimādiguṇaiśvaryaṃ saṃsiddhiṃ prāpnuyāddhruvam

Translation

或可持诵“阿伽罗”（Aghora）真言，并诵“摩诃伊湿伐罗伽雅特丽”（Maheśvara Gāyatrī）。噢，最胜牟尼啊，于六个月内修此持诵者，必定获得圆满成就与从“微细如尘”（aṇimā）等开始的自在神通。
