|| दधिशंखतुषाराभं क्षीरोदार्णव सम्भवम नमामि शशिनं सोमं शम्भोर्मुकुटभूषणम् ||

I bow to the Moon God whose hue resembles the hue of Curds, a conch and the colour of show. I bow down to the one who sprang out from the milky ocean and the one who beautifies and adorns the crest of Shiva and who is of the form of nectar.
