Lord Nṛsiṃha said: Obeisance to Kapālin [one having the skull (in the hand) ], to the terrible one, to the lord of meritorious renown, to the Amogha (one who is never futile), to the fiery-eyed one, to Nakulīśa, to Śambhu, to the greatest physician, to one having shaven head, to one holding a staff, to one of yogic form, to the lord having the cloud for vehicle. Obeisance to the lord of Pārvatī, to the unmanifest, to one devoid of grief, to the steady one, to one with steady bow, to Sthāṇu, to one having tiger-skin, as garment, to the cause of the five substances, to the bestower of boons, to one of a simple foot, to one who has the crescent moon on his head, to the king of Adhvaras[22] (sacrifices), obeisance to the lord of yogins.
