You are as severe as a thunder bolt,
yet, as tender as a flower bud.

O Lord Shiva,
holder of the pinaka drum,
I salute You.

You are like a silver mountain,
carrying a crescent moon on Your head.

I know that You imbibe all attributes.
You are the controller
of both the expressed and the unexpressed worlds
and the shelter of all distressed.

You are beginningless and beyond the scope of time.
Yet, You remain established in all finite objects.

I salute You, O ever tranquil one!
Lord of all animalistic tendencies!

You are the owner of all gems
and also the supreme relinquisher of everything.
You are as effulgent as a bright emerald.

O very seed and primordial force of the universe!
Controller of all created beings!
I salute You, Lord Shiva.
