3.Kshaye Apasmara, Kushtaadhi, THapajwara nivaranam,

Rajadware Pade  Ghore SAmgrameshu Jalanthare  ,

4.Girir Guhanthare Aranye, Vyagra chora Bhayadhishu,

Aavarthan Sahasreshu Labhathe Vanchitham Phalam.

This cures T.B., Epilepsy , Leprosy   and great fever,

In the gate of the palace, horrifying pathways  , in war , inside water,

On mountains , insides caves  , in  forest  , during fear of tigers and robbers ,

If this is repeated thousand times , then the desired objective would be attained.

5,Trikale ya paden nithyam   , MOksha sidhimavapnuyath,

Dathathreya sada  Raksheth, Yadha SAthyam na samsaya.

If one reads this thrice per day, he  would get salvation,

Dathathreya will always protect him. And without any doubt this is the truth.

6.Vidhyarthi labhathe Vidhyaam, Rogi Rogath pramuchyathe,

Aputhra labhathe puthram, DaridhroLabhathe Dhanam,

A student t will get knowledge  , A sick person would get cured of sickness,

One who does not have a son will get one   and the poor man will get wealth.

7.Abharya labhathe Bharyaam, Sukharthi labhathe Sukham,

Muchyathe SArva paapebhyo, Sarvadaa Vijyi Bhaveth.

One without wife will get wife , one who craves for pleasant life would get pleasure,

One would get free of all sins and he would always be victorious.
