- वीणाभेरीमृदङ्गकाहलकला गीतं च नृत्यं तथा ।
- The arts of vina, kettle-drum, mridanga, and horn, song and dance as well.
- साष्टाङ्गं प्रणतिः स्तुतिर्बहुविधा ह्येतत्समस्तं मया
- Eight-limbed prostration and manifold hymns; all this by me.
- सङ्कल्पेन समर्पितं तव विभो पूजां गृहाण प्रभो
- Offered by resolve to you, O all-pervading one; accept the worship, O Lord.
