प्रियश्च शिवयोर्नित्यं तस्माच्छांतिप्रदो भव । विष्णुदेहसमुद्भूतो यस्मादारोग्यवर्धनः
priyaśca śivayornityaṃ tasmācchāṃtiprado bhava | viṣṇudehasamudbhūto yasmādārogyavardhanaḥ
నీవు నిత్యం శివ-శివలకు ప్రియుడవు; అందువల్ల శాంతిని ప్రసాదించువాడవు కావు. నీవు విష్ణుదేహమునుండి ఉద్భవించినవాడవు గనుక ఆరోగ్యవర్ధకుడవు.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: प्रियश्च = प्रियः + च; तस्माच्छान्तिप्रदः = तस्मात् + शान्तिप्रदः (त् + श → च्छ); विष्णुदेहसमुद्भूतः as tatpurusha with kridanta head; यस्मादारोग्यवर्धनः = यस्मात् + आरोग्यवर्धनः (त् + आ → दा).
It teaches that one should be a source of peace (śānti) and that sacred origin—here described as arising from Viṣṇu—implies the power to promote health and well-being (ārogya).
By urging one to remain dear to Śiva (and his consort) while also affirming an origin from Viṣṇu, the verse reflects devotional harmony—valuing reverence and service that results in peace and welfare.
The ethical emphasis is on becoming a benefactor to others: a giver of peace and a promoter of health, implying compassionate conduct and public-spirited virtue.
