Note:-
The break down of this ashhTakaM, for each shloka, is as follows:
5 - 6 -- 5 - 6 ---
5 - 6 -- 5 - 6 ----

The digits indicate the number of syllables and the
dashes the relative pause. The beauty of this ashhTakaM
is revealed in its more subtle forms when
chanted slowly. It maybe upendravajra or upajAti etc.
