Who use the bow Pinaka, who is shorn of his battle-axe and who is the sovereign and the saviour of the universe. I totally consign myself to the care of that divine lord, that giver of protection, that god versed in deer's skin; salutation to that lord of the gods who has Vaisravana for his friend, salutation to him of illustrious vows, to him whose companions are all best bow-men.
पिनाकिनं खड्गधरं लोकानां पतिमीश्वरम्॥ प्रपद्ये शरणं देवं शरण्यं चीरवाससम्। नमस्तस्मै सुरेशाय यस्य वैश्रवणः सखा॥ सुवाससे नमस्तुभ्यं सुव्रताय सुधन्विने।
