वर्णब्रह्मकलादेहो देवस्सकलनिष्कलः ॥ शिवभक्तिसमारूढः शांत्यतीतस्सदाशिवः ॥ भक्त्या मयार्चितो मह्यं प्रार्थितं शं प्रयच्छतु ॥ २१ ॥

He is the body of the varṇa, brahma and kala and is pure in all respects. Attained to devotion to Lord Śiva he is transcendental to peace and is always Lord Śiva May you whom I have worshiped with devotion grant me the peace I have prayed for.
