शर्वं कपालहस्तं च ग्रीवार्द्धे गरलान्वितम् । रुण्डमालार्द्धहारं च सितगौरं समंततः
śarvaṃ kapālahastaṃ ca grīvārddhe garalānvitam | ruṇḍamālārddhahāraṃ ca sitagauraṃ samaṃtataḥ
انہوں نے شَرْو کو دیکھا—ہاتھ میں کَپال لیے ہوئے، گلا جزوی طور پر زہر کے نشان سے آلودہ؛ کٹے ہوئے سروں کی مالا آدھے ہار کی طرح، اور ہر سمت سفید و گورے نور سے درخشاں۔

Scene: Deities behold Śiva: skull held in hand, throat stained by poison, half-ornament of severed heads, body luminous—white-fair radiance surrounding a fearsome yet benevolent presence.
Śiva’s form unites awe and refuge: the poison signifies cosmic protection, and the fierce ornaments signify transcendence over death.
