Salutations to Shiva, who wears the king of snakes as a garland, the

three-eyed god, whose body is smeared with ashes, the great lord, the

eternal and pure one, who wears the directions as his garment, and who

is represented by the syllable ``na''

I bow to Shiva, who has been worshiped with water from the Ganga

(Mandakini) and anointed with sandalwood paste, the lord of Nandi, the

lord of the host of goblins and ghosts, the great lord, who is worshiped

with Mandara and many other kinds of flowers, and who is represented by the syllable ``ma.''

Salutations to Shiva, who is all-auspiciousness, who is the sun that

causes the lotus face of Gauri (Parvati) to blossom, who is the

destroyer of the yajna of Daksha, whose throat is blue (Nilakantha),

whose flag bears the emblem of the bull, and who is represented by the

syllable ``shi.''

Vasishhtha, Agastya, Gautama, and other venerable sages, and Indra and

other gods have worshipped the head of (Shiva's linga). I bow to that

Shiva whose three eyes are the moon, sun and fire, and who is

represented by the syllable ``va.''

salutations to Shiva, who bears the form of a Yaksha, who has matted

hair on his head, who bears the Pinaka bow in his hand, the primeval

lord, the brilliant god, who is digambara (naked), and who is

represented by the syllable ``ya.''
