Begins -- ॐ स्वस्ति प्रजाभ्यः ॥ श्रीगणेशाय नमः ॥
अरूपं विश्वरूपाख्यमनाख्यातप्रकारकम् । प्रपद्ये प्रणवात्मानमलिंगसंख्यमव्ययम् ॥
नमस्यामि सदा वंद्यां क्रुष्णवाङ्मयमातृकाम् । स्थूलां सूक्ष्मां शिवां घोरां सर्वाकारां सरस्वतीम् ॥ स्मरामि सर्वसाहित्यपारगाणां महात्मनां । गुरूणां यत्प्रसादेन प्राप्यते वैबुधं पदम् ॥ सारः सर्वस्य विद्वत्ता विद्वद्भ्यः कवयो वराः । कवीनां लिंगविज्ञानं मुह्यंति सुधियो यतः ॥ प्रार्थितः शास्त्रकारेण पादग्रहणपूर्वकम् । करोति स (श) वरस्वामी वर्ष : पंचिकामिमाम् ॥
