|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||

I shall prostrate before supreme Lord Shiva who is decked in crescent moon/Udupathi, he is Vishvavandhya who is worshiped by the whole Universe, Oh! Lord, I have been abandoning moral conduct and recklessly wandering like a shameless animal, and I have committed various sins and sunken into the ocean of sorrow, how can I cross over this unfathomable ocean without your grace? Oh! Karunasagara/ocean of mercy, Oh! Girisha/who is wielded on Mountain as bow, kindly forgive for all those sins committed in the Samsara; I am in a miserable state I shall earnestly pray for forgiveness, even though continues to commit thousands of mistakes in every seconds like a dumb person, and go on with prayers shamelessly, Oh! Natha, you are bountiful, you will forgive all kinds of sins of the worshiper who are surrenderd to your lotus feet at the moment of death, Oh! Purahara who is the destroyer of city of Thripura, if I have committed those Dhoshathrya/three kinds of severe sins at the deathbed due to lack of consciousness, how shall I remember your lotus feet?  Oh! Shiva, Prana while leaving the body, all the limbs and joints becomes fragile, I will be surrounded by relatives who weep bitterly in great affection, at the moment of loss of consciousness and all these distractions around how can I concentrate and fix my intellect on your lotus feet? Oh! Adhrikanyadhinatha/who is the consort of Adhrikanya/daughter of Mount Himavan, therefore I shall surrender to your lotus feet right now, with all my descendents, Oh! Shiva, I am not an intellectual so I am not aware of performance of any religious rites or Yoga practices,  I have no other means other than surrender to your lotus feet.  Oh! Parvatheesha/Lord of Goddess Sri Parvathi, I am completely afflicted with extreme grief and agony in the world of Samsara, Oh! Parvatheesha, who is eulogized by Veda and sacred scriptures and essence of sacred Veda and scriptures; you are the supreme preceptor who imparts the knowledge of self/Athman, Oh! Parvatheesha, I have no means other than surrender to your lotus feet, Oh! Paramdhama, you are absolute Bhramam, you are great illusionist who tied the living beings with worldly bondage, you are the cause for all actions, you are eternal bliss who imparts the knowledge of supreme Bhramam and liberates the souls from worldly bondage and provider supreme bliss to people who are surrendered to your lotus feet, therefore I shall surrender to your lotus feet, Oh! Sarvadheeshvara, you are the greatest cure for the distressed people and devotees who are afflicted with intense grief and miseries of Samsara, you are the great relief for the pain afflicted by the Samsara by imparting the knowledge of Athman, Oh! Varadha, kindly eradicate our intense pain and sorrows afflicted by the Samsara, you are Samsaravaidhyam /greatest cure of Samsara, and therefore we shall surrender to your lotus feet. Oh! Girisha, I shall meditate upon you, Oh! Bhramavidhyaguru/ imparts the knowledge of absolute Bhramam, who is meditated by Yogis followed with supreme austerities, they attain nearness to you at the time of departing the world and also obtain Tharakamanthra which removes all kinds of fears. Oh!  Shiva, I shall remain your sincere servant,  I shall surrender to your lotus feet,  I have no other means to escape, Oh! Natha, I have nothing to offer to you, Oh! Natha, we are completely besieged with sorrows and grief, Oh! Compassionate Lord, kindly accept our act of surrender.
