अर्चाचन्दनपेषणाद् भगवतः श्रीशङ्करेन्द्रार्चित-
स्यारूढः पदवीं कवेरनुसृतेर्हर्षस्य भूत्वा नृपः।
काश्मीरेषु विरज्य विक्रम-मृतौ गृह्णन् गुरोः प्राक्तनात्
सन्न्यासं स हि कोङ्कणाच्युतसुतः श्रीचन्द्रचूडोऽभवत्॥४५॥
अब्दान् देवनदीतटे दश नयन् आचार्यभूतो भुवो
धन्वन्तर्यवतारम् आर्यमधुरं निक्षिप्य पीठे निजे।
दत्त्वाऽस्मै परिपूर्णबोधबिरुदं भेजे व्यये चाव्ययं
धाम स्वं जननाष्टमीनिशि हरेः श्रीचन्द्रचूडाश्रमी॥४६॥
