Complete Mantra:
Manobuddhi ahamkara chita ni naham
Nachashotre jiv-hey nachaghrana netre
Nacha vioma bhoomir na tejoe na vayu
Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham
Nachaprana saugno na v’puncha vayu

Vibureviapya sarvatra sarvendriyani
Sadame samatvah na muktir na bandha
Chidananda roopah shivoham shivoham
