Sanskrit text

सौराष्ट्रे सोमनाथं च श्रीशैले मल्लिकार्जुनम्। उज्जयिन्यां महाकालमोङ्कारममलेश्वरम्

saurāṣṭre somanāthaṃ ca śrīśaile mallikārjunam | ujjayinyāṃ mahākālam oṅkāram amaleśvaram

परल्यां वैद्यनाथं च डाकिन्यां भीमशङ्करम्। सेतुबन्धे तु रामेशं नागेशं दारुकावने

paralyāṃ vaidyanāthaṃ ca ḍākinyāṃ bhīmaśaṅkaram | setubandhe tu rāmeśaṃ nāgeśaṃ dārukāvane

वाराणस्यां तु विश्वेशं त्र्यम्बकं गौतमीतटे। हिमालये तु केदारं घुश्मेशं च शिवालये

vārāṇasyāṃ tu viśveśaṃ tryambakaṃ gautamītaṭe | himālaye tu kedāraṃ ghuśmeśaṃ ca śivālaye

एतानि ज्योतिर्लिङ्गानि सायं प्रातः पठेन्नरः। सप्तजन्मकृतं पापं स्मरणेन विनश्यति

etāni jyotirliṅgāni sāyaṃ prātaḥ paṭhen naraḥ | saptajanmakṛtaṃ pāpaṃ smaraṇena vinaśyati
