तैरेव पठितव्यं च श्रोतव्यं च शिवात्मभिः ।। नवधा भक्तिदं दिव्यमन्तःकरणबुद्धिदम् ।। ४२।।
This shall be read and listened to only by them with their soul dedicated to Śiva. It then confers the ninefold devotion. It is divine. It purifies the inner mind and sense.
This shall be read during the festivals of Śiva, during the eighth and fourteenth Tithis, and at the installation of the idol. It then causes the presence of Śiva.
In the event of a meteor shower in a strong wind without rain or in heavy rains He who recites this mantra with attention, learned, devoted to Lord Śiva and firm in his vows.
