Om Triyambakam Yajamahe |
|
Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam |
|
Urvarukamiva Bandhanat |
|
Mrtyormuksheeya Mamrtat |
|
Terrifying and yet benevolent |
|
Where the opposites dwell in harmony |
|
O Mahadeva, Praise to thee |
|
He is the eye of the storm |
|
And the calm after the same storm |
|
The Primal Cause, the Effulgent One |
|
Om Namah Shivaya Shivaya Namah |
|
I bow to the Ancient One,O Rudra |
|
Bow to the Ancient One, O Consort of Durga |
|
The King of the Holy Mountains |
|
Who dwells beyond the three gunas |
|
He is the three-eyed one |
|
With the ash-besmeared body |
|
The one with the matted locks |
|
Who slays the demons |
|
I bow before this wielder of the trident |
|
Who bears the Holy River in his matted locks |
|
Can't you see the serpent slithering around his neck |
|
O Mahayogi |
|
O Conqueror of Death |
|
The one who walks the cremation grounds |
|
Garlanded with human skulls |
|
O Hara, My obeisance to you |
|
Om Namah Shivaya Shivaya Namah |
|
I bow to the Ancient One |
|
O Lord of the three worlds |
|
Bow to the Ancient One |
|
O Consort of Shakti |
|
The King of the Holy Mountains |
|
Who dwells beyond the three gunas |
|
Who is the Maha-Guru |
|
Ruler of the Universe |
|
Most ancient of the ancients |
|
Bow to that primeval one |
