Translation

Noon, nang masilayan ang Diyosa at si Bhava (Śiva), ako at ang mga gaṇa ay nagsimulang manikluhod at manalangin; ang mga muni, mga devarṣi, mga siddha, at ang mga dwija ay humiling ng utos na Pāśupata—ang kautusan ng Panginoong Pati na nagpapalaya sa paśu (kaluluwa) mula sa pāśa (pagkagapos).
