Translation.
The story of Sri Ragunath of the thousand names, by whose grace we sing the praises of Harl.
Om! Om ! Om! The stainless light of the letter Om !3 From the light the navel; from the navel the lotus ; from the lotus was born Brahma. He took his staff and bowls and went to bathe. Shankásûr, the Dånav, was born.
Brahma then taught the Velas, and for that purpose Brahmâ went to Siva's abode. (Said he): "Shivji, thou art the Slayer, thou art the Creator, thou knowest the meaning of the Foor. Vedas."
. . ., first came the stainless light.
.s..., the dand and karmandal carried by fagars.
