lalate kesavam dhyayen
narayanam athodare vaksah-sthale madhavam tu govindam kantha-kupake visnum ca daksine kuksau
bahau ca madhusudanam trivikramam kandhare tu vamanam vama-parsvake sridharam vama-bahau tu
hrsikesam tu kandhare prsthe ca padmanabham ca katyam damodaram nyaset "When one marks the forehead with tilaka, he must remember Kesava. When one marks the lower abdomen, he must remember Narayana. For the chest, one should remember Madhava, and when marking the hollow of the neck one should remember Govinda. Lord Visnu should be remembered while marking the right side of the belly, and Madhusudana should be remembered when marking the right arm. Trivikrama should be remembered when marking the right shoulder, and Vamana should be remembered when marking the left side of the belly. Sridhara should be remembered while marking the left arm, and Hrsikesa should be remembered when marking the left shoulder. Padmanabha and Damodara should be remembered when marking the back."
