रुद्रं सत्कर्मभिर्मत्या: पूजयन्तीह दैवतम्‌ । शिवमित्येव य॑ प्राहुरीशं रुद्रे पितामहम्‌

Transliteration

rudraṃ satkarmabhir matyāḥ pūjayantīha daivatam | śivam ity eva yaṃ prāhur īśaṃ rudre pitāmaham ||

Translation

Di dunia ini, manusia memuja Rudra sebagai daya ilahi melalui perbuatan luhur. Dialah yang mereka sebut ‘Śiva’—Īśa, Tuhan Yang Mahatinggi—bahkan sebagai Pitāmaha (sumber mula) yang bersemayam dalam Rudra.
