From the forest of his matted lock, water flows and wets his neck,
On which hangs the greatest of snake like a garland. |1|
And his drum incessantly plays Damat, Damat, Damat, Damat,
And Shiva is engaged in the very vigorous manly dance,
To bless and shower prosperity on all of us.|2|

The celestial river agitatedly moving through his matted hair,
Which makes his head shine with those soft waves.|1|
And his forehead shining like a brilliant fire-dhaga dhaga,
And the crescent of moon which is an ornament to his head,
Makes my mind love him each and every second.|2|

The consort of the ever sportive daughter of the mountain,
Whose mind rejoices at her side long glances.|1|
With the stream of merciful look which removes hardships,
Makes my mind take pleasure in him who wears the directions as apparel.|2|

He with the shining lustrous gem on the hood
Of the serpent entwining his matted locks,
He who is with his bride whose face is decorated
By the melting of red saffron Kumkum.|1|
And He who wears on his shoulder the hide
Of the elephant which was blind with ferociousness,
Makes my mind happy and contented,
In him who is the leader of Bhoothas.|2|
May he whose foot stool is decorated
by the ever flowing flower dust.
Falling the bent head of Indra and Gods,
And may He, whose matted locks are tied by the king of serpents(Vasuki).|1|
And may he whose head is decorated
by the crescent moon who is a friend of Chakora(a mythical bird)
shower prosperity forever on me.|2|
May he with the raging fire
In his forehead, who burnt the God of love(kama-deva),
May He who is forever being saluted by king of devas.|1|
And may he who has collected
the cool ambrosia like crescent moon on his forehead,
And may he who wears a garland of skulls,
bless us to create wealth for us.|2|
May He in whose forehead, fire burns “Dhaga”, “Dhaga,”,“Dhaga,”
May He who burnt the one with five arrows* as an offering to fire.|1|
May He who is the only one who can write decorative lines,
On the tip of the breasts of the daughter of the mountain,
And May He with three eyes make mind enjoy in him.|2|
May He whose black neck is as dark
As several layers of new clouds,
Packed closely on the night of the new moon.
May He who wears the celestial river ganga on his head.|1|
May He who is very handsome because of the crescent that he wears,
And may he who carries the entire burden of the world,
Bless us with all sorts of wealth.|2|
I salute him, who shines with a black neck
Similar to the well opened blue lotus,
On which all the temples depend for prayer,|1|
And him who destroyed God of love, the three cities,
The worldly problems and yaga destroyers,
And him who destroyed elephant faced Asura and also God of death.|2|
I salute him who is like the bee who drinks the sweetened honey,
That flows from the flower bunch of collection of arts of the Goddess.|1|
And him who destroyed God of love, the three cities,
The worldly problems and yagya destroyers,
And him who destroyed elephant faced Asura and also God of death.|2|
Victory to the great Shiva, who has the fire burning in his forehead,
Which is increased by the breath of the snake wandering in the sky.|1|
And to Him who dances to the changing tunes and fierce sound,
Of Dhimi, dhimi, dhimi coming out the auspicious drum.|2|
When will I be able to worship that eternal shiva,
With a feeling of equanimity towards snake and a garland,
Towards great gems and dirt or friends and enemies.|1|
Or Towards a blade of grass and lotus like eyes,
Or towards emperor and ordinary men.|2|
When will I live the life of pleasure, meditating on Shiva,
Sitting near a hollow cave near the celestial river Ganga.|1|
Releasing all my bad thoughts by focusing in the middle of forehead
and with hands in namaskara mudra clasped above my head,
After releasing all passion for pretty women with eyes that are unwavering.|2|
इदम् हि नित्यमेवमुक्तमुत्तमोत्तमं स्तवं
पठन्स्मरन्ब्रुवन्नरो विशुद्धिमेतिसंततम् ।
हरे गुरौ सुभक्तिमाशु याति नान्यथा गतिं
विमोहनं हि देहिनां सुशङ्करस्य चिन्तनम् ॥१४॥

hare gurau subhaktimāśu yāti nānyathā gatiṃ
vimohanaṃ hi dehināṃ suśaṅkarasya cintanam ..14..
This greater than the great prayer if read,
Remembered, or recited daily by a yogi,
Will make him pure and eternal.|1|
And he would get devotion to Shiva leading him to salvation,
For remembering Lord Shiva, is a sure method of removal of detachment.|2|
