viviktavāsināṃ nityaṃ śailakandaracāriṇām |
imāḥ kamalapatrākṣa gītā gītātmabhāvanāḥ || 8 ||

I will now recite to you, O lotus-eyed Rama! the songs of the siddhas, residing in the retired solitudes of mountainous regions, and dwelling in the caverns of hills, and which relate principally to their spiritual meditations.
