I bow to the lord of all — the supreme lord — the lord of Śrī Pārvatī — the lord of the universe — the lord of the sacred serpents — the auspicious Sāmba-Śambhu-Śiva — the lord of the three worlds — the one with the trident — the great Naṭarāja. [Āratī to Śiva]

I bow to the lord robed in sacred ash — the divine pārijāta tree for the gods — whose feet are worshipped with bilva leaves — Soma — the lord of the Moon — dwelling in the world as the divine abode — the supreme Ātman. [Āratī to Śiva]

I bow to the one who loves to dwell on Kailāsa — the compassionate lord — at whose beloved left side sports Kātyāyanī [Pārvatī] — who is the embodiment of the Praṇava (Oṃ) — who is worshipped by the self — whose form is served with devotion. [Āratī to Śiva]

I bow to the one who burned Manmatha's (Kāma's) pride of his own mada (intoxication with self-power) — the lord of Dākṣāyaṇī (Satī) — filled with the attributeless [Absolute] and overflowing with qualities — the Kaivalya Puruṣa — who is the very form of the grace bestowed on devotees — the singular source of bliss. [Āratī to Śiva]

I bow to the one whose own peak is flooded by the divine Gaṅgā — the god bearing the equally adorned crescent moon — the jaṭādhara (wearing matted locks) — at whose forehead-portion the fire of the eyes (third eye) blazes continuously, bright and unwavering. [Āratī to Śiva]

I bow to the Āradhya Puruṣa (the person worthy of worship) whose two eyes are the Moon and Sun — who is manifest as the assembled gods, Kinnaras, and serpents — whose own lotus-feet are worshipped by the one born in Śaravaṇa (Skanda). [Āratī to Śiva]

I bow to the one who dwells at Śrīśaila — the lord Mallīśa — and at Śrī Kāḷahastī — who dwells at Svarṇamukhī — the lord at Kāñcīpura — the brilliance of Śrī Kāmākṣī — the auspicious great Mahādeva. [Āratī to Śiva]

I bow to the destroyer of Tripura — the lord of Aruṇācala — Dakṣiṇāmūrti — the Guru revered throughout the world — dwelling at Cidambara — the five-liṅga-mūrti — the twelve-Jyotirlinga form — the great Mahādeva. [Āratī to Śiva]

I bow to the auspicious light-form liṅga — who performs the three-count dance — who is known through the three Vedas — the primordial one — the five-faced lord — whose form is wonderful as the Vedas — who is the meaning/essence of the Vedas — the lord of all the worlds — the great Mahādeva. [Āratī to Śiva]
