Always the great God Shiva be meditated upon

He who is white like snow covered mountains

He who is like beautiful moon

He whose body is shining as if bedecked with jewels

He who is pleased but is holding an axe in his hand

to terrify the beasts and evil ones

He who is sitting in lotus position

and surrounded by the praising of immortal people

He who is clad in tiger skin

He who is first in the universe

and is saluted first by the universe

He who has five faces

and is three eyed

Always the great God Shiva be meditated upon
