Of the Lord of the divine stage who is the consort of Shivakami.

He who is like the billions of Suns ,
He who is like the thin sky which gives wealth and salvation,
And who is one who protects the oppressed men.

Charanam
He who carries the moon and the ganges , He who has a blue neck,
He who is the basis of Kedhara and other temples,
He who has a butter like heart , The Shiva who is the father of Guru Guha,
He who is studied by Vedas, who is dispassionate, who is dealt by the unfathomable Advaitha,
He who is entertained by music and dance in its very many different forms.
