May we always worship Maheshwara (the god of gods) who shines like a silver mountain and is adorned with the beautiful arc of the new moon; he whose body is resplendent as if it has been smeared with the essence of the rarest of rare gems; he who is seated on deer skin and wields an axe-like weapon; he whose gestures bestow blessings and assure fearlessness to his devotees; he who is happy, is seated in a lotus posture and is praised by various devatas who surround him; he who is attired in tiger skin and is the originator of the universe; he who is worshiped by all and annihilates all fears and he who has five faces and three eyes.
