TRANSLATION (Lines 1-3) May there be success! Heil! From the prosperous (city of) KārttikĒyapura ; through the grace of the holy Dhūrjați (Siva) who has destroyed the strength of the dense darkness that robs all discrimination, by removing it with the shower of filaments which are the abundant wide-spread pure rays of the lotuses which are his feet, red with the intoxication from imbibing the bright lustre of the lights that bring about & uniform white colour, which are the crores of the points of the beautiful crowns and coronets on the innumerable heads of all the lords of the gods, demons and men, bowed down under the weight of the burden of devotion ; (and) whose matted hair is washed by the Ganges ;
