otherwise it would harm your gracefulness and kindness towards your passionate
devotees, Oh! Dhatha, I am standing before you with the vessel for alms, I am
sincerely begging for alms, kindly provide us intense devotion and faith on
your lotus feet at all times, Oh! Kripasheela, Oh! Shambho I shall remain
grateful always, Oh! Sharva, I shall remain content if you consider me as a
bull and mount on me, or if you consider me as impure and adorn as moon on your
matted hair locks, or if you consider me as double standard one and adorn as
serpent around your neck, eventually in whatever way you accept I would find
immense satisfaction in that, Oh! Gireesha who is Lord of Mountains, I do not know to trouble others, and I do not
know to please you as well, Oh! Lord of sacred land Kashi, you are pleasing to
all, even to the people who are added disgrace to wives, sons, and father, Oh! Mahesha who is mighty
Lord, I shall take refuge at your lotus feet, I do not know how to eulogize, or

the Universe and its living beings, I shall prostrate before Mridani who
destroyed the Yagna of Dhakshaprajapathi, I shall prostrate before Shivanga and
Shivangi who has allocated half of the
bodies to each other, I shall repeatedly
prostrate before supreme Lord Shiva and Goddess Ambika who has beautiful three
eyes, Oh! Prabho, I am incompetent to describe your glories, kindly shower your
compassionate grace on me, I have taken courage to describe your splendor according
to my ability due to intense desire, kindly forgive me for the sin committed,
as and when my ears deafening with the sounds of the bell tied to the celestial bull of Yama, Oh! Deva, kindly
appear before me on your celestial vehicle bull and pacify me as your child, in
order to get rid of the fear of death, Oh! Shambho, when the emissaries of Yama
with frightful appearances, merciless acts and harsh words reverberates in my ears how could I calm my
mind and meditate upon your lotus feet? Therefore I shall prostrate before you
right now. When I am on death bed with
critical illnesses, accompanied with restlessness, desperate sighs and
incoherent speeches, I would yearn to envision that marvelous form of Lord Shiva
adorned in sacred Ganga on matted hair locks, when I am surrounded by children
and companions at my death bed, weeping at the pitiable state of mine, Oh!
Devadevesha, Oh! Gaureesha, Oh! Shambho, I should be able to utter your sacred
names, Oh! Purare who is the slayer of demons of Pura, when the people
surrounded at my death bed get anxious about my pathetic state of being
critical and incoherent speeches, let me envision your marvelous form
beautifully adorned in sacred ashes and serpents as ornaments. Oh! Deva, I
shall prostrate before you, when I get frightened at the thought of tortures of
the hell, Oh! Esha, I should be able to envision your marvelous form with the
luster of dark clouds, adorned in crescent moon. Oh! Mahadeva, If I was to pass
through the deserted and most difficult pathways, kindly obstruct me and guide
through a pleasant way, Oh! Ardhendhumaule who is adorned in crescent moon on
reddish-brown matted hair locks, Oh! Mahadeva, if I were to fall on the hellish
tortures of Raurava, which causes intense trepidation by mere thought, Oh!
Natha, I am helpless, who will rescue me? Oh! Parvathivallabha who is dearest
darling of Goddess Parvathi, when I get terribly frightened at the sight of
Yama who is wielded in fierce weapons, kindly protect me, I have no one other than
you. Oh ! Neelakanda who has bluish throat, I am always tormented by the
thought of fear of death, how can I overcome those trepidation and anxieties,
you are the ultimate resting place for all, therefore I shall prostrate before
you and take refuge at your lotus feet. Oh! Bhavanipathe, who is the beloved
consort of Goddess Bhavani, I have not followed any righteous deed from
childhood till the age of death, I am
extremely horrified at the thought of death, let me envision your lotus feet
for the peaceful transition from the material existence without any fear, Oh!
Jagannatha, it is unbearable to go through the repeated births, aging, and
living in the darkness of womb as fetus, Oh! Dhayalo, who is too compassionate,
I shall take refuge at your lotus feet, I have no one to help, wouldn’t shower
your kindness? Oh! Maheshana, the sacred syllables of Panchakshara ‘Om
Namashivaya’ is highly significant capable to eradicate untimely, accidental
and unexpected deaths, it is capable to provide liberation from repeated births
as well, therefore Oh! Esha, kindly bless me with a boon not to slip these
sacred syllables from my thought/intellect as well as from my tongue, Oh! Amba
who is beloved of Lord Shiva, adorned in crescent moon which spread cool rays,
Oh! Devi, you are the supreme cure for worldly existence, I have been suffering
so long, I shall take refuge at your lotus feet, kindly guide me to cross the
worldly existence, a deity without an eye on forehead that symbolize massive
fire, deity without the presence of lustrous consort Goddess Uma on the left,
deity who is not adorned in serpent as ornaments all over the body, deity who
is not adorned in crescent moon on reddish-brown matted hair locks are not considered
as supreme Lord, I shall never meditate
upon a deity who has no bluish stain on the throat, deity who is not adorned in
serpent as ornaments, deity who does not carry Kapala, deity who is not adorned
in crescent moon on matted hair locks, or deity who has no consort on the left,
Oh! Mahadeva, who is mighty Lord, Oh!
Shambho who is auspicious, Oh! Gireesha who is Lord of Mountains, Oh!
Thrishoolin who is wielded in powerful trident, you are the essence of Universe
and its living beings, and ultimately absorb them, I am not aware of any deity
other than Lord Shiva, therefore Shivoham! Shivoham ! Shivoham ! Shivoham/I am
Shiva, He is the source of Universe and its living beings, he has supreme
radiance that illuminates the whole Universe, he is void of actions, he is the preserver
of the Universe and its living beings, ultimately it immerses in him, therefore
Shivoham ! Shivoham ! Shivoham ! Shivoham ! I am not aware of any deity other than supreme Lord Shiva who is
adorned in crescent moon on the crown, Lord Agni as eye on forehead, venomous
serpents as ornaments all over the body, and beloved consort positioned on his
own body, whoever worship Lord Shiva along with Goddess Ambika, with intense
devotion and faith, whoever sings praising the splendor of supreme Lord Shiva
along with Goddess Ambika, would be freed from fear of death, worshiper would
be blessed with the eternal presence of Lord Shiva and Goddess Ambika in lotus
like his/her heart. Oh! Shambho who is fond of decorating serpents as
ornaments, I have composed the above verses in Bhujangaprayatha meter, whoever reads
or listens to it with intense devotion and faith would attain virtuous
offspring, longevity, good health, wealth, prosperity and happiness.
