इति श्रीसर्वभौमभट्टाचार्यपादविरचितं
श्रीनित्यानन्दाष्टोत्तरशतनामस्तोत्रं सम्पूर्णम्॥
Iti Śrī-Sarvabhauma-Bhaṭṭācārya-Pāda-Viracitaṁ
Śrī-Nityānanda-Aṣṭottara-Śata-Nāma-Stotraṁ Sampūrṇam
Thus ends the recitation of the 108 names of Śrī Nityānanda,
Composed by Śrī Sarvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya — fully complete and supremely auspicious.
