Please read the introductory notes to this poem.
A pdf file that shows the devanāgarī text, the transliteration and the chandas or metre pattern of the verses all on one page, in a 3-column table, may be downloaded for your convenience. Additionally this PDF will display the devanāgarī characters as they should. I am not sure they will be shown in the same way in different browsers. They should though.
अहं तां कन्यां स्मरामि ।
सा तस्या भूम्या नागच्छत् ।
सूर्यचन्द्रयोः प्रजासीत् ।
अहमत्र नृपो नासम् ।।
मां दृष्ट्वा सा मामागच्छत् ।
सुखमिवैव साहसत्
सा च सूक्तानीवावदत् ।
सिद्ध्या सह तत्रातिष्ठम् ।।
यां प्रियां कथामवदत्
तस्या दुःखं भीतमासीत् ।
यां वीरनरा नाबोधंस्
तस्याः कीर्तेः कर्त्र्यभवत् ।।
सुखस्य शत्रुः सा भूमिः ।
यां सिद्धिं सा नावागच्छत्
तां छायानां सेनाजयत् ।
शिवावामेवगोप्स्यति ।।
ॐ नमः शिवाय

ahaṃ tāṃ kanyāṃ smarāmi
sā tasyā bhūmyā nāgacchat
sūryacandrayoḥ prajāsīt
ahamatra nṛpo nāsam
māṃ dṛṣṭvā sā māmāgacchat
sukhamivaiva sāhasat
sā ca sūktānīvāvadat
siddhyā saha tatrātiṣṭham
yāṃ priyāṃ kathāmavadat
tasyā duḥkhaṃ bhītamāsīt
yāṃ vīranarā nābodhaṃs
tasyāḥ kīrteḥ kartryabhavat
sukhasya śatruḥ sā bhūmiḥ
yāṃ siddhiṃ sā nāvāgacchat
tāṃ chāyānāṃ senājayat
śivāvāmevagopsyati
Syllables (akṣaras) are either light (laghu) or heavy (guru). The 'x' refers to laghu syllables and the 'dash' to guru syllables. Egenes uses the 'breve' symbol for laghu syllables, so I will try to stick to this usage next time. A group of 3 syllables is called gaṇa.
