Great god-guru Shivabalayogi, I surrender to you (sharana thumare), come lord (agayaji prahbu).
You wear tiger cloth (viagrambara dhara), the lion is your throne (singha simasana, i.e Devi). You are the Shiva that is beyond this world (para) and the manifestation of Parvati (parvati rupa). / Lord of the universe (jagadishwara), you elevate the universe (jagado dwaraka). Both male and female (ardhanareeshwara), an incarnated divine soul (avatara purusha). / Supreme lord and guru, your body is white in color (gaurangadhari; i.e. Shiva whose body is smeared with white ash, vibhuti). You wear the River Ganges in your matted hair (gangajata dhara) and the moon as an ornament (chandra viraje). / “Bam bam” is the sound of Shiva dancing. You destroy the fear of this material world (bhava bhaya hari). You bestow knowledge (gyana data) and give peace (shanti pradata).
