इत्थं स्वचरितं लोके प्रकटीकृतवान् स्वयम् ॥ मृत्युंजयः कालकालो भक्तोद्धारपरायणः ॥ ४१ ॥

In this manner the great Conqueror of Death, Kāla of Kāla, always devoted to the uplift of his devotees, made His own conduct of life manifest in the world.

O sage, perform His adoration. Worship him always. Hear and sing his glory. Perpetually pay Him homage.

कायेन मनसा वाचा यश्शंकरमुपैति भो ॥ स पण्डित इति ज्ञेयस्स जीवन्मुक्त उच्यते ॥ ४४ ॥

He who approaches Śiva by means of his body, mind and speech is a great scholar. He is called a living liberated soul.
