Śiva-nāmānukīrtana-prastāvaḥ
Prologue to the praise of Śiva and the Upamanyu testimony
अनेकरावसंघुष्ट श्वानेकस्तुतिसंस्कृत: । सर्वभूतान्तकः सर्व: सर्वलोकप्रतिछ्तित:
anekarāvasaṅghuṣṭaḥ śvānekastutisaṃskṛtaḥ | sarvabhūtāntakaḥ sarvaḥ sarvalokapratiṣṭhitaḥ ||
ヴァースデーヴァは言った。「彼はさまざまな叫びと轟きに満ちて鳴り響き、数多の讃歌によって崇められる。彼は一切の生きとし生けるものの終わりをもたらす者であり、その本性において万有を包み、万界において万物の内なる基として確立している。」

Educational Q&A
The verse presents a theological-ethical vision: the ultimate reality is simultaneously praised in many ways, pervades all worlds as their inner foundation, and also functions as the inevitable end (antaka) of all beings—encouraging reverence, humility, and alignment with dharma in the face of mortality and cosmic order.
Vāsudeva is describing a supreme, all-pervading power/being using epithets: it is surrounded by loud tumult and many voices, receives diverse praises, brings all embodied life to its end, and remains established throughout all realms as the underlying presence.
