People who study books which turn them into fiercely bickering and fighting debaters,
people who earn wealth but spend their lives tight fisted without giving alms, and
people whose hearts do not melt in praising You as the Treasure of SivA who has PArvathi by His side - all these
will wander about going back and forth to the place of the Death-God (Yaman) who never discriminates.
You are the form of Divine Music!
You are cherished in the heart of the Greatest Deva, namely SivA!
You reside in all the fourteen worlds*, including Heaven.
You hold the Spear that can never do any harm.
You have hoisted Your flag of the Rooster.
You are the God of all Gods!
You are the Super Lord, Oh Great One!
