Devanagari script

यं नास्पृशंश्चैत्यमचिंत्यतत्त्वं दुरंतधामानमतत्स्वरूपम् । मनोवचोवृत्तय आत्मभाजां स एष पूज्यः परमः शिवो नः

Transliteration

yaṃ nāspṛśaṃścaityamaciṃtyatattvaṃ duraṃtadhāmānamatatsvarūpam | manovacovṛttaya ātmabhājāṃ sa eṣa pūjyaḥ paramaḥ śivo naḥ

Translation

മനസ്സിന് സ്പർശിക്കാനാകാത്തവൻ—അചിന്ത്യ തത്ത്വമുള്ളവൻ, ദുർലഭധാമമുള്ളവൻ, ‘ഇതാണ്’ എന്ന പരിധിക്ക് അതീതസ്വരൂപൻ; ആത്മഭാജികളുടെ മനോ-വാക്വൃത്തികൾ പോലും എത്താത്തവൻ—ആ പരമശിവനാണ് ഞങ്ങളുടെ പൂജ്യൻ.

FAQs

No specific tīrtha is named; the focus is theological—Śiva’s transcendence.

Pūjā (worship) is explicitly affirmed as appropriate, though details of method are not specified.
