Which has the luster of billions  of young Suns and which is divinely joyous.

The flower full of juice of mercy  to which groups of devas surrender

The  shining  Linga which is not natural , who holds in his hand a wonderful bow,

The unfathomable measure of lotus like Parvathi, who rides   on bull which travels fast.

Viprothama visesha antharangam , veera guruguha thara prasangam,

God who is in the special mind of great Brahmins, who is  the protector of the valorous guru Guha,

Who shines with    The ganges decorating his head   and shines himself      with  the spark  fire and the moon
