Transliteration

niṣkalasyātmanaḥ śambhoḥ svecchādhṛtaśarīriṇaḥ śaṃ rudraḥ sarvabhūtānāṃ karoti ghṛṇayā yataḥ

Translation

Kerana Śambhu—hakikat Diri-Nya niṣkala, tanpa bahagian dan tanpa rupa, namun Dia mengambil tubuh menurut kehendak-Nya sendiri—dengan belas kasih Dia mendatangkan kesejahteraan dan keberkatan bagi semua makhluk; maka Dia disebut “Rudra”.
