एष योगेश्वरो नाम त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्रुतः ॥ न तस्मादधिकः कश्चिद्यागो ऽस्ति भुवने क्वचित् ॥ ९१ ॥

This rite is Yogeśvara. Nowhere in the world is there a Yoga superior to this.

english translation

न तदस्ति जगत्यस्मिन्नसध्यं यदनेन तु ॥ ऐहिकं वा फलं किंचिदामुष्मिकफलं तु वा ॥ ९२ ॥

A benefit of this world or the next unattainable through this does not exist anywhere.

english translation

इदमस्य फलं नेदमिति नैव नियम्यते ॥ श्रेयोरूपस्य कृत्स्नस्य तदिदं श्रेष्टसाधनम् ॥ ९३ ॥

We cannot fix like this—“This is the fruit thereof, this is not the fruit.” This rite is the excellent means of benefits by way of welfare.

english translation

इदं न शक्यते वक्तुं पुरुषेण यदर्च्यते ॥ चिंतामणेरिवैतस्मात्तत्तेन प्राप्यते फलम् ॥ ९४ ॥

This can be said that whatever is solicited is obtained as fruit from this as from the wish-yielding precious stone (cintāmaṇi).

english translation

तथापि क्षुद्रमुद्दिश्य फलं नैतत्प्रयोजयेत् ॥ लघ्वर्थी महतो यस्मात्स्वयं लघुतरो भवेत् ॥ ९५ ॥

Still none shall perform this rite for trivial benefits. A man praying for a small help from a great man demeans himself.
