I alone am unhappy (duḥkhinī) without my husband. O lord, make me possessed of my husband. O Śiva, be pleased. O lord, friend of the distressed, please make your words true. Excepting you, who is there in the three worlds including the mobile and immobile creatures who can destroy my sorrow. Knowing this, be merciful. [...]”.
