शैवं च वैष्णवं रूपमेकरूपं नरोत्तम ॥ १९ ॥

द्वयोश्च अंतरं नास्ति एकरूपमहात्मनोः ।
शिवाय विष्णुरूपाय शिवरूपाय विष्णवे ॥ २० ॥

शिवस्य हृदयं विष्णुर्विष्णोश्च हृदयं शिवः ।
एकमूर्तिस्त्रयो देवा ब्रह्मविष्णुमहेश्वराः ॥ २१ ॥

त्रयाणामंतरं नास्ति गुणभेदाः प्रकीर्तिताः ।
शिवभक्तोसि राजेंद्र तथा भागवतोसि वै ॥ २२ ॥

तेन देवाः प्रसन्नास्ते ब्रह्मविष्णुमहेश्वराः ।
सुप्रीता वरदा राजन्कर्मणस्तव सुव्रत ॥ २३


The two forms, of Shiva and Vishnu, are One. There is no difference between
the two. Glory to Shiva who is of the form of Vishnu and glory to Vishnu of
the form of Shiva. They both are verily the essence of each other. Brahma,
Vishnu and Maheswara are but one form. There is no distinction among the
Three. O Yayati, you are both Shiva bhakta and Vishnu bhakta. The
Trimurti-s are pleased with you and will grant you boons.

This शिवाय विष्णुरूपाय शिवरूपाय विष्णवे ॥ २० ॥

शिवस्य हृदयं विष्णुर्विष्णोश्च हृदयं शिवः । is an upabrhmanam of the Skanda
Upanishad. The Smarta-s of the Kannada and Telugu region recite this along
with a few more verses of the same nature, during their every sandhya
worship.
