IAST Transliteration

bhavā́rudráu sayújā saṃvidānā́v ubhā́v ugráu carato vīryā̀ya | tábhyāṃ námo yátamasyāṃ diśī́táḥ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Bhava and Rudra, yoked together, of one accord—both fierce—go forth in might. To those twain be homage, in whatsoever quarter they be: from hence away.

Translation

பவனும் ருத்ரனும்—ஒரே யோகத்தில் இணைந்து, ஒருமனத்துடன்—இருவரும் உக்கிரராக—வீரியத்தோடு செல்கின்றனர். அந்த இருவருக்கும் நமஸ்காரம்—அவர்கள் எந்தத் திசையில் இருந்தாலும்; இங்கிருந்து விலகிச் செல்லட்டும்.
