अण्णु(कण्व)शङ्करनन्दनः पटुपद्मनाभसमाह्वयो
लम्बिकापथतत्परोऽप्यवलम्ब्य सद्गुरुशासनम्।
कामकोटिपदे स्थितः श्रितकामकोटिफलप्रदे
नित्यदत्तसहस्रभक्तम् अभूद् इदं पदभागसौ॥६१॥
सकरुणम् अपबन्धुं कन्नडेशीकुमारं
पुनरपि निजराज्ये स्थापयंस्तद्विजेत्रा।
अतिलघुतनुवृत्तिर्जीर्णपर्णात् स योगी
पदमनु चतुरोऽब्दानेव देवोऽध्यवात्सीत्॥६२॥
प्रजोत्पत्तौ मार्गशीर्षे सितषष्ठ्याम् अगाद् असौ।
पदं स्वं परमं सर्वशोकमोहविवर्जितम्॥६३॥
