Translation

O Herr — durch das Sinnen über deine Lotosfüße, o Śambhu, wird die Furcht vor Yama, dem Sohn der Sonne, rasch abgeschüttelt. Mārkaṇḍeya, der Sohn des Mṛkaṇḍu, erlangte schnell Unsterblichkeit; was könnte durch Zuflucht zu dir, o höchster Herr, nicht vollbracht werden?

FAQs

Remembrance of Śiva’s feet and wholehearted refuge (śaraṇāgati) removes fear of death and grants the highest spiritual attainments.

Rāmeśvaram at Setu, where Śiva is praised as the giver of fearlessness and the protector from Yama’s terror.

A devotional practice is implied: contemplation/meditation (ciṃtana) on Śiva’s lotus feet; no detailed vrata is specified in this verse.
