The sages said: Obeisance to Śiva, to Rudra, to Kadrudra, to Pracetas, to Mīḍhuṣṭama (the bountiful one), to Śarva, to Śipiviṣṭa, to Raṃhas. I bow down to lord Bhāskara (refulgent like the sun) seated in the lotus and surrounded by the nine Śaktis on a pedestal which was highly pleasing, large, spotless and essentially powerful. I bow to Āditya, Bhāskara, Bhānu, Ravi and lord Divākara. I bow down to Umā, Prabhā, Prajñā, Sandhyā, Sāvitrī, Vistārā, Uttarā, and Bodhanī as well as Āpyāyanī the bestower of boons. I bow to Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śiva.
