Basaveswara Vachana

 ಪಾತಕ ಶತಕೋಟಿಯನೊರಸಲು

ಸಾಲದೆ ಒಂದು ಶಿವನ ನಾಮ ?

ಸಾಲದೆ ಒಂದು ಹರನ ನಾಮ ?

ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೇವಾ ನಿಮ್ಮ

ಉಂಡಿಗೆಯ ಪಶುವ ಮಾಡಿದೆಯಾಗಿ.

.

To wipe off hundreds of crores of sins,

isn't one uttarance of the name of Shiva enough ?

isn't one utterance of the name of Hara enough ?

Oh the Divine Maha Deva,
