भातीन्द्रधनुषाकाशं मेरुणा च यथा जगत् हिरण्यधनुषा सौम्यं वपुः शंभोः शशिद्युति
Transliteration
bhātīndradhanuṣākāśaṃ meruṇā ca yathā jagat hiraṇyadhanuṣā saumyaṃ vapuḥ śaṃbhoḥ śaśidyuti
Translation
De même que le ciel resplendit de l’arc d’Indra et que le monde s’illumine grâce au mont Meru, ainsi le corps doux de Śambhu—tel un arc d’or—flamboie d’une clarté lunaire, révélant le Pati dont la grâce lumineuse dissipe du paśu le pāśa des ténèbres.
