अरौद्रः कुण्डली चक्री विक्रम्यूर्जितशासनः। शब्दातिगः शब्दसहः शिशिरः शर्वरीकरः॥९७॥

He is araudraḥ, one whose nature is free of cruelty or harshness, ever calm and benevolent; kuṇḍalī, radiant with divine, coiled energy and adorned with celestial ornaments; chakrī, ever armed with the discus of cosmic order; vikramī, the one of immense and heroic strides; and ūrjitaśāsanaḥ, whose supreme rulership is established through sheer power and divine authority. He is śabdātigaḥ, beyond the reach of all sound and speech, untouched by name and form; yet as śabdasahaḥ, He upholds the power of sound as the Veda itself; He is śiśiraḥ, the cool, gentle refuge that calms the heat of worldly suffering; and śarvarīkaraḥ, the one who dispels the deepest darkness, bringing dawn to the long night of ignorance.
