संहारकाले संप्राप्ते सदेवान्निखिलान्मुनीन् ॥ लोकान्वर्णाश्रमवतो हरिष्यसि यदा हर ॥ ३१ ॥

When the time of destruction arrived all the gods and sages O Lord, when You will take away the worlds of the varṇas and āśramas.

O Mahadeva then committing a sin such as killing a brahmin You have no independence, Shambha, therefore you are playing at will.

O Śiva, the garland of the bones of Brahmā shines around your neck. Similarly, O Śiva, O sinless one, the primordial Brahmahatyā has followed you.

कृत्वापि सुमहत्पापं यस्त्वां स्मरति मानवः ॥ आधारं जगतामीश तस्य पापं विलीयते ॥ ३४॥

Even after committing a great sin, if a person, remembers you who are the lord and support of the worlds, his sin is quelled.

यथा तमो न तिष्ठेत सन्निधावंशुमालिनः ॥ तथैव तव यो भक्तः पापन्तस्य व्रजेत्क्षयम्॥ ३५॥

Just as darkness does not stand in the presence of the sun, similarly the sin of your devotee does not stand but is wasted away.
