Verse 8

मातर्जाह्नवि शम्भुसङ्गमिलिते मौलौ निधायाञ्जलिंत्वत्तीरे वपुषोऽवसानसमये नारायणाङ्घ्रिद्वयम् ।सानन्दं स्मरतो भविष्यति मम प्राणप्रयाणोत्सवेभूयाद्भक्तिरविच्युता हरिहराद्वैतात्मिका शाश्वती ॥ ८ ॥

In plain words

Mother Jāhnavī, mingled with Śambhu in his embrace — my palms folded and raised to my head, on your bank, at the hour this body ends, remembering with joy the two feet of Nārāyaṇa: at that coming festival of my breath's departure, let devotion be mine, never slipping, everlasting, made of the non-duality of Hari and Hara.

Close to the Sanskrit

O Mother Jāhnavī, mingled in union with Śambhu — having placed the folded palms upon my head, on your bank, at the time of the ending of the body, remembering with joy the two feet of Nārāyaṇa — at my coming festival of the departure of the breath, for me who so remembers, may there be devotion, never slipping away, whose very self is the non-duality of Hari and Hara, everlasting.
