I meditate only on
that great God,
Who is the lord of
all beings,
Who is the destroyer
of sins,
Who is the lord of
heaven,
Who wears the hide
of the king of elephants,
And who keeps river ‘

suresam, surarathinasam,
Vibhum,
Viswanaham,Vibhuthyanga bhoosham,

I pray that Lord of
lords with faces five,
Who is the greatest
God,
Who is the God of
devas,
Who is the enemy of
Asuras,
Who is scholar of
philosophy,
Who is the lord of
the universe,
Who anoints himself
totally with ash,
And who has sun,
moon and fire as eyes.

Be kind to me. Be
kind to me, Oh, Lord,
Who has a fully
complete mien,
Who is the consort
of Goddess Uma,
Who keeps the moon
crescent with himself,
Who is the God who
carries the great spear,
Who has unkempt
grown hair,
Who is the only one
pervading all over,
And who has a form
which encompasses the universe.

I worship that God,
Who is the
Paramathma,
Who is the seed of
the world,
Who does not have
any desires,
Who does not have
any shape,
Who can be known
through ‘
Who creates and
looks after the world,
And merges it within
him.

I pray and praise
that God,
Who is the trimurthy*,
And who is not
affected by
Earth, water, fire,
wind,
Ether, thanthra,
nidhra,
Heat, cold, place of
stay and attire.

I praise that most
holy God,
Who does not have
any birth,
Who is permanent,
Who is the cause of
all causes,
Who is peaceful,
Who is the light of
all lights,
Who is thureeya, the
other side of ignorance,
Who does not have
either end or beginning,
And who does not
have any divisions.

Salutations and salutations ,
To him who is the
ever lasting bliss,
Salutations and salutations ,
To him who should be
attained through Vedas.
