ॐ जय शिव ओंकारा, स्वामी जय शिव ओंकारा।
ब्रह्मा, विष्णु, सदाशिव, अर्द्धांगी धारा॥ ॐ जय...
एकानन चतुरानन पञ्चानन राजे।
हंसासन गरुड़ासन वृषवाहन साजे॥ ॐ जय...
दो भुज चार चतुर्भुज दस भुज अति सोहे।
त्रिगुण रूप निरखत त्रिभुवन जन मोहे॥ ॐ जय...
अक्षमाला वनमाला मुण्डमाला धारी।
त्रिपुरारी कंसारी कर माला धारी॥ ॐ जय...
श्वेताम्बर पीतम्बर बाघम्बर अंगे।
संकदीक गरुणादिक भूत विकल संगे॥ ॐ जय...
कर के मध्य कमंडलु चक्र त्रिशूलधारी।
सुखकारी दुखहारी जगपालन कारी॥ ॐ जय...

योगी सुर मुनिवर गुण गावत भवभय हारी॥ ॐ जय...
Om, glory to Shiva, the embodiment of Om, the Supreme Consciousness. Glory to Lord Shiva, the divine Omkara.
You are Brahma, Vishnu, and Sadashiva, adorned with the divine feminine energy, Ardhangini (Parvati).
You appear with one face, four faces, and five faces. You ride on a swan, Garuda (eagle), and the bull (Nandi).
You are adorned with two arms, four arms, and ten arms. The three qualities of Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas are visible in you, attracting the people of the three worlds.
You wear garlands of Rudraksha beads, forest flowers, and skulls. You are the destroyer of the Tripura demons and the enemy of Kansa, holding a rosary in your hands.
You wear white clothes, yellow clothes, and a tiger skin. Sankadi, Garuda, and various spirits accompany you.
In your hands, you hold a Kamandalu, a discus, and a trident. You bring happiness, remove sorrow, and are the protector of the world.
Brahma and the sages, along with Lord Shiva and the wise, sing your praises. Yogis, gods, and great sages chant your qualities, removing the fear of worldly existence.
