1 Obeisance to Nandirudreśvara! Oṃ! Obeisance to the teachers, obeisance to Īśvara, obeisance to Māṇibhadra, obeisance to all yakṣas!
2 Obeisance to all gods, obeisance to Śiva, obeisance to Ṣaṣṭhī, obeisance to Prajāpati, obeisance to Rudra! Obeisance to Vaiśravaṇa, obeisance to the Maruts! May the dice / fall for the purpose of this matter: hili hili! Accompanied by the potter-woman and the Mātaṅga-woman, let them fall! By whatever truth of all the Siddhas, by whatever truth of all the disputants—by that truth, by that truthful compact—lost, destroyed, / welfare and adversity, gain and loss, victory and defeat of him who seeks the auspicious vision, svāhā! Oṃ! In Satyanārāyaṇa and in the deity, and in the rishis truth, mantra, conduct is truth; let them fall before our eyes, svāhā! And the truth should be seen […] / […] and mantra, medicine, the power of omens, inner [thought], in falsehood, the deity Viṣṇu in the ninth, caṇṭayāṇṭa. // 444 Obeisance to the lion of men! Janārdana is pleased with you; / all enemies are slain, whatever you desire [you shall attain]. // navikkī 333 You have neither grief nor weariness, neither decline nor rise, nor have you fear.
