- In the beautiful region of Saurashtra (a region in western India), the luminous and resplendent moon-like Lord, Somanatha, shines. He bestows devotion and grace upon his devotees, and I surrender myself at the feet of Lord Somanatha, seeking his refuge.
- In the holy confluence of the Kaveri River and the sea (Kaverikanarmadayoh Pavitre samagame), for the welfare of the virtuous, Lord Shiva resides eternally in Mandhata-pura (another name for the town of Rameswaram). He is adorned with spring-like fragrant flowers, and I meditate upon that auspicious and benevolent form of Lord Shiva.
