Mantra
Devanagari:
अखण्ड बिल्व पत्रेण पूजिते नन्दिकेश्वरे
शुद्ध्यन्ति सर्वपापेभ्यो एकबिल्वं शिवार्पणम्
शालिग्राम शिलामेकां विप्राणां जातु चार्पयेत्
सोमयज्ञ महापुण्यं एकबिल्वं शिवार्पणम्
Transliteration:
Akhanda Bilva Patrena Pujite Nandikeshvare
Shuddhyanti Sarvapapebhyo Ekabilvam Shivarpanam
Shaligrama Shilamekam Vipranam Jatu Charpayet
Somayajna Mahapunyam Ekabilvam Shivarpanam
Translation:
When the Lord of Nandi is worshipped with an unbroken Bilva leaf,
All sins are purified—I offer one Bilva leaf to Lord Shiva;
Equal to gifting a sacred Shaligrama stone to a wise sage,
Or the great merit of a Soma sacrifice—I offer one Bilva leaf to Lord Shiva.
