“आदिश्याष्ट यमीश्वरान् समवितुं कर्णाटदेशेऽद्वयं
रोद्धुं सायणमाधवोक्तविधया वृद्धिं च मध्वाध्वनाम्।
विद्यातीर्थगुरोरसोढविरहोऽप्यावृत्य शीताचलात्
तस्योक्तेर्बिभराम्बभूव स धुरां श्रीकामकोटीमठे॥१०२॥
श्रीमध्यार्जुनभालचन्द्रमखिराट्सूनुर्महेशाह्वयो
विद्यातीर्थपदान्नियम्य समयेष्वद्वैतमुद्द्योतयन्।
अध्यास्त प्रतिकामकोटि शरदो द्वात्रिंशतं देहिनां
द्वैतध्वान्तनिवारणो नवमठीनाथो नवः शङ्करः॥१०३॥
स दुर्मुखिनि सन्मुखो मधुरवाङ्मधौ मौनिराट्
