athānyat sampravakṣyāmi devasya caritaṃ mahat /
śrutamātreṇa yenāśu sarvapāpaiḥ pramucyate
bhikṣurūpaṃ paraṃ kṛtvā devadevo maheśvaraḥ /
ekaśālāṃ gato grāmaṃ bhikṣārthī kṣutpipāsitaḥ

sphurattriśūlo viśveśo jaṭākuṇḍalabhūṣitaḥ
kṛttivāsā mahākāyo mahāhikṛtabhūṣaṇaḥ /

yatra yatra gṛhe devo līlayā ḍiṇḍamaṃ nyaset /
bhārākrāntaṃ gṛhaṃ pārtha tatratatra vinaśyati
evaṃ sampracaran devo veṣṭito bahubhir janaiḥ /
dṛśyādṛśyena rūpeṇa nirjagāma bahiḥ prabhuḥ

teṣāṃ tu stuvatāṃ bhaktyā śaṅkaraṃ jagatāṃ patim /
ḍiṇḍirūpo hi bhagavāṃstadāsau pratyadṛśyata
tadāprabhṛti deveśo ḍiṇḍimeśvara ucyate /
darśanāt sparśanād rājan sarvapāpaiḥ pramucyate
