Let the victory be Yours, O Shiva!
Selfcreated Lord!
Wielder of all animalistic tendencies!

You are the controller of the primordial
and preprimordial worlds.
With Your long and matted locks of hair,
You witness all minds.
You reside beyond the realm of intellect.

Descending from a realm of effulgence,
You made the three worlds Your abode,
and permeated all with a flow of divine nectar.

You are the Lord of all beginning.
You are ancient and eternal.
I salute You, O supreme benevolence!

You are the controller of the attributional world,
and yet, You remain beyond attributions.
You are the destroyer, controller and creator
of all objects and entities.

You sweetly smile from both within
and beyond the scope of time.
You are the controller and maintainer
of all layers of the cosmic mind!

Shiva, Svayambhu (the self created Lord),
Pashupati (the Lord of animals),
the first Lord,
the Lord of the beginninglessness,
Dhurjati (one whose matted lock of hair
is always turned upwards),
the witnessing entity of all microcosmic intellect,
the repository of the universal wisdom
let the victory be Yours!

You originate from the invisible world,
and reside in the three worlds.
You are the one who provides all
with a nectarlike flow of bliss.
You are Adideva Sanatana (imperishable),
Sha'shvata (eternal), Andpuratana (the most ancient).
I salute You, O embodiment of auspiciousness!

You are endowed with all rare qualities.
You are Guna'tiita (beyond attributes),
yet all attributes (sattva, raja and tama) are sheltered in You.

You have no attachment to wealth.
You are the dearest Lord of all created objects and entities.

You are both within and without the scope of time.
You smile in all sweet objects.
You feed the entire creation.
You are the one who maintains all lokas of all created worlds.
