तद्दृष्टं चरणारविंदमतुलं तेजोमयं सुंदरं संध्यारागसुमंगलं च परमं तापापनुत्तिंकरम् । तेजोराशिकरं परात्परमिदं लावण्यलीलस्पदं सर्वेषां सुखवृद्धिकारणपरं शंभोः पदं पावनम्

Transliteration

taddṛṣṭaṃ caraṇāraviṃdamatulaṃ tejomayaṃ suṃdaraṃ saṃdhyārāgasumaṃgalaṃ ca paramaṃ tāpāpanuttiṃkaram | tejorāśikaraṃ parātparamidaṃ lāvaṇyalīlaspadaṃ sarveṣāṃ sukhavṛddhikāraṇaparaṃ śaṃbhoḥ padaṃ pāvanam

Translation

Da wurde jener unvergleichliche Lotos der Füße geschaut—lichtvoll strahlend, schön, höchst glückverheißend wie das Purpur der Abenddämmerung und der erhabenste Vertreiber des Leids. Er spendet Ströme von Glanz, ist jenseits des Jenseits, Spielstätte von Gnade und Anmut: Śambhus heilige Füße, höchste Ursache der Mehrung des Glücks aller, reinigen.
