I seek shelter with Thee, the peaceful lord Śiva whose matted hairs have been tied up with the king of serpents, who is bowed to by the Munis, who is constantly engaged in meditation, and is full of wisdom and who has destroyed the body of Madana (Kāma) and who is supreme and all-powerful, who is adored by the Daityas, and Serpents and who is the creator and the lord of the world and is bowed to by all the people. To Thee who is praised by the Ṛk and Yajur Veda, who carries, Gaṃgā ॥ on his head॥, the spike ॥ in his hands॥, the lord of Serpents ॥ in his matted hairs॥, I bow my head to Thee who is bliss, and is clad in the skin of the lord of beasts, whose gait is prodigious and is comparable to that of a bull, and his twany matted hairs are like the burning fire. (The end of the Madraka of two Kalās). I bend my head to Śiva, the pure god who removes the affliction of persons bowing to him, who is the container of the Māyā, and is himself the Māyā in form, and who wears matted hairs (The end of the Śīrṣaka of the Madraka of two Kalās). I shall now speak properly of the Catuṣkala ॥ Madraka which will be characterised॥ in terms of Pādabhāgas of four Kalās.
