May Rājasiṁha the lion among kings Raṇajaya the victorious one among kings Śrībhara the Fortune-bearer Citrakārmuka he whose quiver is a wonder Ekavīra the unique hero Śivacūḍāmaṇi he who has Śiva as diadem protect the earth for long.

Puisse Rājasiṁha, le vainqueur au combat, Celui qui apporte la prospérité, celui qui possède un arc resplendissant, Le héros unique, longtemps protéger la terre, Lui qui porte Śiva comme diadème !
