भूतभव्य महादेव हरिपिङ्गललोचन। बालस्त्वं वृद्धरूपी च वैयाघ्रवसनच्छद॥ अर्चनीयोऽसि देव त्वं त्रैलोक्यप्रभुरीश्वरः। हरो हरितनेमी च युगान्तदहनोऽबलः॥ गणेशो लोकशंभुश्च लोकपालो महाभुजा महाभागो महाशूली महादंष्ट्री महेश्वरः॥ कालच बलरूपी च नीलग्रीवो महोदरः। देवान्तगस्तपोन्तश्च पशूनां पतिरव्ययः॥ शूलपाणिवृषः केतुर्नेता गोप्ता हरो हरिः। जटी मुण्डी शिखण्डी च लकुटी च महायशाः॥ भूतेश्वरो गणाध्यक्षः सर्वात्मा सर्वभावनः। सर्वगः सर्वहारी च स्रष्टा च गुरुरव्ययः॥ कमण्डलुधरो देवः पिनाकी धूर्जटिस्तथा। माननीयश्च ओङ्कारो वरिष्ठो ज्येष्ठसागमः।। मृत्युश्च मृत्युभूतश्च पारियात्रश्च सुव्रतः॥ ब्रह्मचारी गुहावासी वीणापणवतूणवान्। अमरो दर्शनीयश्च बालसूर्यनिभस्तथा॥
