|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||
Sage Upamanyu began to narrate to Lord Krishna "I have
praised the supreme Lord Shiva who is invisible to Lord Bhrama, deities, great
Rishis and Sages with utmost faith and devotion. He is most deserved to be worshipped and eulogized,
I am extremely fortunate to remain blessed by the supreme Lord due to my
intense devotion to him, he is the personification of Yagna and representation of
wisdom and knowledge. Whoever venerates
him with utmost devotion and dedication, reciting the sacred names of Lord
Shiva would be blessed with liberation from the cycles of birth and death. The Rishis and deities worship the supreme
Lord Shiva with utmost devotion and austerities; they chant these sacred names
and satisfy him. He is merciful to his
passionate devotees, he dwells as Prana/soul in the living beings, and
therefore the virtuous are devoted to him.
He is worshipped by these virtuous people with utmost devotion and dedication,
they venerate him in their several births, his glories and fame are
immeasurable. He is worshipped by the
virtuous people with their pious deeds, sacred hymns, mind and words, they are
thoroughly immersed in his thought while in dream and awakened stage as well, while
closing and opening eyes, and they spread the glories of the Supreme Lord Shiva
to the people who are unaware of it.
These virtuous people keep praising Supreme Lord Shiva in several
thousands of births from various wombs and remain in a state of bliss."
