Sanskrit:

स्तवैरुच्चावचै: स्तोत्रै: पौराणै: प्राकृतैरपि ।स्तुत्वा प्रसीद भगवन्निति वन्देत दण्डवत् ॥ ४५ ॥

ITRANS:

stavair uccāvacaiḥ stotraiḥpaurāṇaiḥ prākṛtair apistutvā prasīda bhagavanniti vandeta daṇḍa-vat

Translation:

The devotee should offer homage to the Lord with all kinds of hymns and prayers, both from the Purāṇas and from other ancient scriptures, and also from ordinary traditions. Praying, “O Lord, please be merciful to me!” he should fall down flat like a rod to offer his obeisances.

Purport:
