Success! Oṁ, salutation to Carcikā!
May dust on the feet of Carcā who wears the raw of the heads of deities and demons as equivalent of a petticoat protect the world!
“How do I eat this world in one mouthful concealed by the union of fangs? How does one drink water of the seven oceans protected in the hollow of hand?” With such perplexity due to indigence of food, may Carcikā, who possesses a drying body and has human skulls as means of decoration, protect the world at the end of a Kalpa!
He, king Nayapāla, who is the enemy of elephants warding off a multitude of enemy elephants, beautiful like the moon, and the thought-gem with thought fulfilling the purpose of supplicants, is victorious!

Shining blazes of poverty of supplicants, which are cooled by billows caused by flow of stream of water of his donations, assemble, and the wish-fulfilling cow is concealed by people. That Rohaṇa Mountain, with own body covered with thick garment of light made of a net of blazing jewels, will now continue to be ashamed, I think.
By him, who himself desired a residence in forest after causing the inherited fortune of being the preceptor of the Gauḍa king marry his own brother illustrious Mūrtiśiva, was undertaken the deed of Paśupati, who took poison after depositing Lakṣmī born and appearing from churning of the milk ocean to his disciple Hari.

On their way difficult to go, because of the sky very jagged by the high heap of his fame, celestial charioteers are assembling, bewildered by coming and going, trembling and wandering in every direction. The driving of Aruṇa, uneasy with the departure of the chariot of the sun of which rising is stopped by his fame, has a resemblance of a flock of men sticking to the edge of cold air.
Oblong ponds with beauty like a pearl necklace of the earth, which were beheld by bewildered and surprised Viśvakarman with tremor of his head, were made by him in diverse ways in cardinal and semi-cardinal directions. Seeing from a far where are whirlpools on the shores joined with the oceans, they
With a hundred gardens of him, this earth seems uneven with shoots of pulaka trees, like
This earth is not great as much as the seat of that ascetic here is great. This wonder, his seat, is not full, as much as the earth is supposedly filled with

When a supplicant has his wish fulfilled by fruits from him, who has his mind fixed on land plots,
His expanding fame, which always drank up naked ascetics
His fame, gladly placed on a balance by learned people accompanied by a multitude of goldsmiths, was not examined and did not reach an equal state by anything. Due to the strife of stealing moon-like splendour of his fame, also due to
The three worlds became like a vein-like garland of jasmine at a neck, like foams in water, like snow on mountains, like shores of the milk ocean on the earth and like smearing of dense sandal liquid on the walls of the quarters in all the directions, by his anointing fame spotless like moonlight.
By him, who had pure soul, was built this vaḍabhī temple, which is like embodying the fourth part of himself presented with great curiosity of the snow and gold mountain. After seeing the wonder of the mirror image of its lion on water of the celestial river
By the pot on its top, how that sacred sun is the head ornament, by a multitude of manifold banners, how the lines of the divine river
After going down to this residence of Bhavānī, which is white like the Snow Mountain and has a thousand of playful nubile damsels reflected on the web of rays of beautiful jewels, seated Śambhu must remember beauty of his own marriage house after a long time.
There was illustrious Rūpaśiva, the disciple of Sarvaśiva of inflamed asceticism, the thought-gem for all supplicants, like the second life for Mūrrtiśiva and renowned for acute vow, who raised up this sunk doctrine of the god, the teacher of Caṇdī

By this sage, who had the ocean of customs, an image, and also eulogy, of Mūrtiśiva, whose deeds were pure, was here caused to be made.
That Lakṣmīdhara, the ornament of Kāṭaka, the son of Gaṇapati and the one like Hari, was here the organiser on this edifice, by the order of illustrious Mūrtiśiva. For this very virtuous brāhmaṇa, truly, the request of supplicant was his joy, lovely word was his life and altruism was his vow as a man.
That preceptor of initiation for speakers, who was a swan in the wide lake of distinction of the meaning of the six logics, a bulb of much unlimited knowledge and the sole play house of beauty, he, Śrīkaṇṭha, having pure word, brāhmaṇa, poet, the son of Śrīnātha and the younger brother of Śrīvallabha, the mark among leaned men, composed this eulogy.
