I

whose

is
Liberation,
the
omnipotent
and
all
pervading
Brahma,
manifest
as
the
Vedas.
I
worship
Shiva,
shining
in
his
own
glory,
without
physical
qualities,
Undifferentiated,
desireless,
all
pervading
sky
of
consciousness
and
wearing
the
sky
itself
as
His
garment.

The

Beyond

Awe-full,
but
gracious,
the
ruler
of
Kailash,
Devourer
of
Death,
the
immortal
abode
of
all
virtues.

The

with

Beautiful

Full
of
Mercy
with

and
a

on
his
throat.

I
worship
Shankara,
Bhavani’s
husband,
The
fierce,
exalted,
luminous
supreme
Lord.
Indivisible,
unborn
and
radiant
with
the
glory
of
a
million
suns;
Who,
holding
a
trident,
tears
out
the
root
of
the
three-fold
suffering,
And
who
is
reached
only
through
Love.

You
who
are
without
parts,
ever
blessed,
The
cause
of
universal
destruction
at
the
end
of
each
round
of
creation,
A
source
of
perpetual
delight
to
the
pure
of
heart,
Slayer
of
the
demon,
Tripura,
consciousness
and
bliss
personified,
Dispeller
of
delusion…
Have
mercy
on
me,
foe
of
Lust.

Oh
Lord
of

so
long
as
you
are
not
worshipped
There
is
no
happiness,
peace
or
freedom
from
suffering
in
this
world
or
the
next.
You
who
dwell
in
the
hearts
of
all
living
beings,
and
in
whom
all
beings
have
their
existence,
Have
mercy
on
me,
Lord.
