Translation

Ayant rejeté l’orgueil et l’illusion, délivré de l’attachement et établi dans une nature que ne souillent pas les défauts de tamas et de rajas, qu’on reconnaisse le suprême mépris des honneurs mondains; et qu’on demeure à jamais voué au Yoga Pāśupata, en quête de Pati, le Seigneur Śiva, seul libérateur du paśu (l’âme) hors du pāśa (lien).
