स्वामामनंति सुनयः परमं पुमांस
मादित्य-वर्णममलं तमसः पुरस्तात् ।
त्वामेव सम्यगुपलभ्य जयंति मृत्युम्
नान्यः शिवः शिवपदस्य मुनीन्द्र पंथाः ||२३||
The great sages consider You to be the Supreme Being, Who possesses the effulgence of the sun, is free from blemishes, and is beyond darkness. Having perfectly realized You, men even conquer death. O sage of sages ! there is no other auspicious path (except You) leading to Supreme Blessedness.
त्वामव्ययं विभुमचिन्त्य मसंख्यमाद्यम् । ब्रह्माणमीश्वर मनंत मनंगकेतुम् ।
योगीश्वरं विदितयोग मनेकमेकम् ।
ज्ञानस्वरूपममलं प्रवदंति सन्तः || २४ ॥
The righteous consider You to be immutable, omnipresent, incomprehensible, unnumbered, the first, Brahma, the supreme Lord (Siva ), endless, the enemy of Ananga (Cupid), lord of yogis, the knower of yoga, many, one of the nature of knowledge, and stainless.
बुद्धस्त्वमेव विबुधाचित बुद्धिधात्
त्वं शंकरोसि भुवनत्रय- शंकरत्वात् ।
धातासि धीर शिवमागं विधेविधानात्
व्यक्तं त्वमेव भगवन् पुरुषोत्तमसि ||२५||
As Thou possessest that knowledge which is adored by gods, Thou indeed art Buddha; as Thou dost good to all the three worlds, Thou art Shankara; as Thou prescribest the process leading to the path of Salvation, Thou art Vidhata; and Thou, O Wise Lord, doubtless art Purushottama.
