विष्ण्वादय ऊचुः ॥ देवदेव महादेव लौकिकाचारकृत्प्रभो ॥ ब्रह्म त्वामीश्वरं शंभुं जानीमः कृपया तव ॥ १ ॥
Viṣṇu and others said: O great lord, the lord of the gods and the prescriber of worldly conventions, we know you to be Śiva and Brahman, thanks to your favour.
english translation
किं मोहयसि नस्तात मायया परया तव ॥ दुर्ज्ञेयया सदा पुंसां मोहिन्या परमेश्वर ॥ २ ॥
O lord Śiva, why do you delude us by your illusion which is inscrutable and which deludes people always.
english translation
प्रकृतः पुरुषस्यापि जगतो योनिबीजयोः ॥ परब्रह्म परस्त्वं च मनोवाचामगोचरः ॥ ३ ॥
You are the supreme Brahman, greater than Prakṛti and Puruṣa, the material and activating cause of the universe. You are incomprehensible and inexpressible.
english translation
त्वमेव विश्वं सृजसि पास्यत्सि निजतंत्रतः ॥ स्वरूपां शिवशक्तिं हि क्रीडन्नूर्णपटो यथा ॥ ४ ॥
You alone create, sustain and annihilate the universe under your control like a spider (weaving its web). You sport about with Śivaśakti—your own manifestation.
english translation
त्वमेव क्रतुमीशान ससर्जिथ दयापरः ॥ दक्षेण सूत्रेण विभो सदा त्रय्यभिपत्तये ॥ ५ ॥
O Śiva, merciful that you are, you alone created the sacrifice through Dakṣa for the fulfilment of the Vedas.
