Translation

Alors fut contemplé ce lotus incomparable des pieds : tout de splendeur, beau, souverainement auspice comme le pourpre du crépuscule, et suprême dissipateur de la souffrance. Artisan de torrents de lumière, au-delà de l’au-delà, terrain de jeu de la grâce et de la beauté : les pieds saints de Śambhu, cause suprême de l’accroissement du bonheur de tous, purifient.
