नमस्ते देव देवाय महादेवाय शंभवे । नमस्त्रिमूर्तिरूपाय सर्गस्थित्यंतकारिणे
namaste deva devāya mahādevāya śaṃbhave | namastrimūrtirūpāya sargasthityaṃtakāriṇe
Kính lễ Ngài, Thần của chư thần, Mahādeva, Śambhu. Kính lễ Ngài, Đấng mang hình tướng Trimūrti, tác thành sự tạo dựng, gìn giữ và tiêu dung.
Rājā (the King)
Scene: Mahādeva as a central figure with subtle triadic symbolism: Brahmā emerging (creation), Viṣṇu sustaining (preservation), Rudra dissolving (dissolution) as emanations or halos around Śiva; devotees offering namaskāra.
Śiva is honored as the supreme divinity who encompasses the cosmic functions of creation, sustenance, and dissolution.
No tīrtha is mentioned; the verse is a universal salutation to Mahādeva.
The practice implied is namaskāra and stotra—reverential salutations and recitation of divine epithets.
