Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 43
नमो निसर्गात्मकभूतिकाय नमोऽस्त्वमेयोक्षमहर्द्धिकाय । नमः शरण्याय नमोऽगुणाय नमोऽस्तु ते भीमगुणानुगाय
namo nisargātmakabhūtikāya namo'stvameyokṣamaharddhikāya | namaḥ śaraṇyāya namo'guṇāya namo'stu te bhīmaguṇānugāya
Salve a Ti, cujo próprio corpo é a ordem manifesta da natureza e do existir. Salve ao Incomensurável, ao Senhor de grande majestade, de estandarte do Touro. Salve ao Refúgio de todos; salve ao Absoluto sem atributos. Salve a Ti que, ainda assim, te moves em harmonia com os poderes divinos temíveis.

Scene: Vṛṣadhvaja Śiva towering yet serene; his form subtly composed of elements—mountains, rivers, forests—while devotees seek refuge at his feet; a banner with bull emblem fluttering.
