ABSTRACT OF CONTENTS.
[VOL. XVIII.
Line 1. Be it well: Prosperity!
Verse 1. May the moon-crested BhavanIpati (ie. Śiva), who is the sportive author of creation, protection and destruction, who is the master of speech, the only abode of omniscience (sarvajñata) and by whose grace his devotees are enabled to cross the dangerous ocean of samsara (metempsychosis), grant you good fortune.
V. 2. May Sambhu, who is full of grace towards moveable and immoveable objects, who holds one with his own body,-which is situated on the mountain (Kailasa) and which is effulgent with light, that of the great Maya, who cheers the Universe, who establishes science and nescience (jñāna and ajñāna) and who is pleased with the happiness and distressed with the unhappiness of souls (jiv-atman),-may He save you easily from sin and protect yon from downfall.
V. 3. He, who killed with his discus the hordes of the army of Asuras, who drove to the aether regions (pātāla) the emperor Bali and who is ever the protector of the Devas, may that Hari wipe off your sins by protecting the world through you who are so many portions of His own Self existing on earth.
V. 4. The Lord of all (Sarvesvara), with a view to procreate the Universe, first ushered into existence water, which (is the primordial matter and which) is the fittest object for that purpose. Therein He sowed His eterual seed and raised from it the Mundane Egg, which envelops the three worlds. He also created Brahma for bringing into existence all other things.
