मध्याह्ने मणिकर्णिकास्नपनजं पुण्यं न वक्तुं क्षमःस्वीयैरब्दशतैश्चतुर्मुखधरो वेदार्थदीक्षागुरुः ।योगाभ्यासबलेन चन्द्रशिखरस्तत्पुण्यपारंगत-स्त्वत्तीरे प्रकरोति सुप्तपुरुषं नारायणं वा शिवम् ॥ ८ ॥
In plain words
Brahmā, wearing his four faces, the teacher who initiates the world into what the Vedas mean, could speak for hundreds of his own long years and still not finish telling the merit of a single midday bath at Maṇikarṇikā. And Śiva, the moon on his crest, who by the strength of his yoga has crossed to the far shore of that merit — on your bank he takes the one who has fallen asleep and makes him Nārāyaṇa, or makes him Śiva.
Close to the Sanskrit
The bearer of four faces, the guru of initiation into the meaning of the Vedas, is not able to speak, with his own hundreds of years, the merit born of bathing at Maṇikarṇikā at midday. The moon-crested one, by the strength of the practice of yoga, gone to the far shore of that merit, makes the sleeping man on your bank Nārāyaṇa or Śiva.
