दृश्यादृश्य यदत्रास्ति तत्सर्वं त्वमु माधव
Whatever is seen or unseen here, all that is you, O Mādhava.
वाच्यस्त्वं वाचकस्त्वं हि वाक्च त्वं प्रणतोस्मि ते
You are the one to be spoken of, you are the speaker, and you are speech itself; I bow to you.
नान्यं नमामि गौरीश नान्याख्यामाददे शिव
I bow to no other, O Lord of Gaurī; I take up no other name, O Śiva.
पंगुरन्याभिगमनेऽस्म्यंधोऽन्यपरिवीक्षणे
I am lame in approaching others, blind in seeing anyone else.
पाता हर्ता त्वमेवैको नानात्वं मूढकल्पना
You alone are the protector and destroyer; the notion of multiplicity is the delusion of the ignorant.
संसारसागरे मग्नं मामुद्धर महेश्वर
Lift me up, O Great Lord, who am sunk in the ocean of worldly existence.
वाचंयमो भवत्स्थाणोः पुरतः स्थाणुसन्निभः उवाच च प्रसन्नात्मा वरं ब्रूहीति तं मुनिम्
Then, the steadfast Lord, resembling a pillar, standing before him, spoke with a gracious heart to the sage: 'Ask for a boon.'
मा भवानि भवानीश दूरं दूरपदप्रद
O Lord of Bhavānī, do not grant me a distant, far-off state.
अपरश्च वरो नाथ देयोयमविचारतः
And another boon, O Lord, is to be granted without hesitation.
तदस्तु सर्वं तेभीष्टं वरमन्यं ददामि च ।। 4.2.63.
So let all that you desire be fulfilled; I grant you another boon as well.

असमर्च्य च यो भुङ्क्ते पत्रपुष्पफलैरपि
He who eats without worshipping me, even with leaves, flowers, or fruits—
महतो नियमस्यास्य भवतानुष्ठितस्य वै
Of this great observance, when practiced by you—
अतो मच्चरणाभ्याशे त्वं निवत्स्यसि सर्वथा
Therefore, you shall always dwell near my feet.
जैगीषव्येश्वरं नाम लिंगं काश्यां सुदुर्लभम् 4.2.63.
In Kāśī there is a liṅga called Jaigīṣavyeśvara, very difficult to obtain.

I shall manifest my presence here, in this liṅga, O ascetic.
ददे शृणु महाभाग जैगीषव्यापरं वरम्
Listen, O greatly fortunate one, I grant you the boon concerning the Jaigīṣavya observance.
महापापौघशमनं महापुण्यप्रवर्धनम्
It dispels the mass of great sins and greatly increases merit.
इति दत्त्वा वरं तस्मै स्मरारिः स्मेरलोचनः 4.2.63.
Thus, having granted him the boon, Smarāri, with smiling eyes, spoke.
