कर्णाटोज्ज्वलसूनुरीश्वरवटुः श्रित्वा सुरेशं चिरात्
श्रीभाष्याद्युपलभ्य तस्य च धुरामासाद्य पीठे वसन्।
निन्ये तत्र शिवाः (४५) समाः शिव इव श्रेयोऽर्थिनां देहिनां
दातुं श्रेय उपागतोऽयमिव यः श्रीचिद्घनाख्यो बभौ॥२१॥
प्राप्तं क्षीरसरित्तटाद्धरिरिति ख्यातं च वात्स्यायनं
पीठे स्वे विनिवेश्य दत्तनियमं सञ्चार्य च प्रक्रियाम्।
कल्यब्दे च विरोधिकृत्यनुतपः शुद्धे दशम्यामगात्
स्वं रूपं परमं सुधीशतनुतः श्रीचिद्घनश्चिद्घनम्॥२२॥
