Some versions differ slightly, for example ‘Hari Vishnu Vidhata’ or ‘Har-Vishnu-Dhata’ in place of ‘Har Vishnu Vidhata’ in the first verse, and ‘paap shaman ho jata’ in place of ‘paap utar jata’ in the last. Some people recite the shloka ‘Mahalakshmi namastubhyam’ before the aarti. When sung, the first line (the refrain) is repeated after every verse.

After the aarti, most homes recite: कर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारं संसारसारं भुजगेन्द्रहारम्।
