- स्वार्चापराणामखिलेष्टदाभ्यां

- स्वाहासहायाक्षधुरन्धराभ्याम् ।
- bearing the burden of the sacrificial call on behalf of Svaha,
- स्वान्ताच्छभावप्रदपूजनाभ्याम्
- whose worship bestows purity of heart.
- नमो नमः श्रीगुरुपादुकाभ्याम् ॥८॥

Worship that purifies the heart fulfils every true desire by aligning the seeker with the Self. The Guru who upholds the sacred offering teaches that outer ritual gains power only when the inner shrine is clean.
