“Shivey Shrungaaraardhraa Thaditharajaney Kuthsanaparaa
Saroshaa Gangaayaam Girishacharithey Vismayavathi!
Haraahibhyo Bheethaa Sarasiruhasowbhaagyajananee
Sakheeshusmeraa They Mayi Jananee Drushtihi Sakarunaa!”
Literal Meaning:
“O Mother!The expression of Thy look at Shiva is characterised by the sentiment of love; at others with that of dislike, at the co-wife Ganga with that of anger; at the hearing of heroic exploits of Shiva, with that of wonder; at the great serpents forming the ornament of Shiva, with that of dread; at the sight of Thy comrades, with that of light-hearted sympathy characterised by a patronising smile; and at me, a devotee, with that of a compassionate expression. And, besides Thy look that has the red-tinged loveliness of a lotus flower, indicating heroism.”
