यस्य स्मरणमात्रेण सर्वं पूतं भवत्यहो ॥ विना तेन कृतं सर्वमपवित्रं भविष्यति ॥११॥

Every rite performed without Him will be impure but with Him or by the mere remembrance of Him becomes pure.

english translation

द्रव्यमंत्रादिकं सर्वं हव्यं कव्यं च यन्मयम् ॥ शंभुना हि विना तेन कथं यज्ञः प्रवर्तितः ॥१२॥

The articles of offerings, the mantra, the Havya and Kavya[1], everything is identical with Śiva. How is it that the sacrifice is being performed without Him?

english translation

किं शिवं सुरसामान्यं मत्याकार्षीरनादरम् ॥ भ्रष्टबुद्धिर्भवानद्य जातोसि जनकाधम ॥ १३ ॥

Did you disrespect Him, considering Him on a par with ordinary devas? You have become senseless and mean though you are my father.

english translation

विष्णुब्रह्मादयो देवा यं संसेव्य महेश्वरम् ॥ प्राप्ताः स्वपदवीं सर्वे तं न जानासि रे हरम् ॥ १४ ॥

Ha, you do not know Śiva the great lord by serving whom Viṣṇu Brahmā and other devas have attained their position and status.

english translation

एते कथं समायाता विष्णुब्रह्मादयस्सुराः ॥ तव यज्ञे विना शंभुं स्वप्रभुं मुनयस्तथा ॥ १५ ॥

How did Viṣṇu, Brahmā, other devas and the sages happen to be present at your sacrifice without their lord Śiva?
