सौराष्ट्रे सोमनाथं च श्रीशैले मल्लिकार्जुनम् उज्जयिन्यां महाकालं ओम्कारममलेश्वरम् ॥
परल्यां वैद्यनाथं च डाकिन्यां भीमशंकरं सेतुबन्धे तु रामेशं नागेशं दारुकावने ॥
वारणस्यां तु विश्र्वेशं त्रयंम्बकं गौतमीतटे हिमालये तु केदारं घृश्नेशं च शिवालये ॥
एतानि ज्योतिर्लिङ्गानि सायं प्रातः पठेन्नरः सप्तजन्मकृतं पापं स्मरणेन विनश्यति ॥
