1. 8

    न मोक्षस्याकाङ्क्षा भवविभववाञ्छापि च न मे न विज्ञानापेक्षा शशिमुखि सुखेच्छापि न पुनः । अतस्त्वां संयाचे जननि जननं यातु मम वै मृडानी रुद्राणी शिव शिव भवानीति जपतः ॥८॥

    (O Mother) I do not have the desire for moksha (liberation); neither have I the desire for worldly fortune, neither do I long for worldly knowledge, O ShashI MukhI (the moon-faced one); I do not have the desire for enjoying the worldly comforts again, henceforth I implore you, O Mother, may you direct my life towards (the rememberance of your names), (the string of your holy names) MridanI RudranI Shiva Shiva Bhavani; may my future life be spent in performing japa of your holy names.
