Victory, victory to you, Shambhu, sole Lord of the world! You enchant the very nature of creation, your essence eternal consciousness, transcending the grasp of impure worldly speech and even the paths of the mind, surpassing all reality. Victory to you, whose nature is pure enjoyment, whose actions are beautiful; whose supreme power is equal only to yourself. You are the ocean of pure qualities. Victory to you, endowed with infinite radiance, whose form is incomparable, whose greatness none can fathom. You are the very source of untroubled auspiciousness. Victory to you, stainless and without support, arising without cause. You are uninterrupted supreme bliss, the cause of liberation. Victory to you, O Lord of supreme sovereignty, abode of supreme compassion, whose independence is complete, whose glory is unmatched. Victory to you, who envelops the great universe, whom none can envelop; you are beyond all, utterly unsurpassed. Victory to you, wondrous and never small, unbroken and imperishable, immeasurable and beyond illusion, beyond absence, ever stainless. Great-armed, of great essence, of great qualities, of great narrative, of great strength, of great illusion, of great flavor, of great chariot. Salutations to you, Supreme God, Supreme Cause, O Auspicious One, O Peaceful One, even more auspicious than all. Truly, this entire universe, with gods and asuras, depends upon you. Who could possibly transgress a command established by you? This person, always taking refuge in you alone, should be favored and granted what he requests. Victory to you, O Ambika, Mother of the world! Victory to you, essence of all creation, whose sovereignty is unsurpassed, whose form is without equal. Victory to you, who transcend speech and mind, who dispel the darkness of ignorance, who are free from birth and old age, who surpass even time itself. Victory to you, who dwell in manifold forms, beloved of the Lord of the universe, worshipped by all the gods, who expand throughout the cosmos. Victory to you, whose limbs are auspicious and divine, lamp of auspiciousness, whose conduct is auspicious, who bestow auspiciousness. Salutations to you, embodiment of the highest, most auspicious qualities! Truly, the universe arises from you and dissolves back into you. Even the Lord himself could not grant a fruit withheld by you; from birth, O Goddess of the gods, this person has sought refuge in you. Therefore, fulfill the wish of this devotee of yours: the Five-faced, Ten-armed one, pure and shining like crystal. The god whose body is formed of the syllables of Brahman, both with and without parts, established in devotion to Shiva, transcending peace, the eternal Sadaśiva—worshipped by me with devotion—may he grant me what I have requested. May the Power, called Śivā, who is the will of Sadaśiva and the mother of all worlds, grant the desired boon. The beloved sons of Shiva, the gods Heramba and Ṣaṇmukha, endowed with Shiva's power, all-knowing, and nourished by the nectar of Shiva's knowledge, are content, affectionate toward each other, always honored by Shiva, and ever respected by the gods, including Brahma and the other immortals. Always arising to protect all worlds, they take incarnations at will, manifesting in many forms through their own portions. These two, ever worshipped by me at the side of Shiva, may they, having considered their command, grant what I have requested. The form called Īśāna, ever like pure crystal, is the supreme manifestation of Shiva, the Supreme Self, presiding over the head. Engaged in the worship of Shiva, tranquil, transcending tranquility, established in sacrificial rites, the ultimate seed of the five-syllabled mantra, endowed with five aspects. In the first enclosure, formerly worshipped together with Shakti, may the pure, supreme Brahman, which I have sought, grant my desire. Resembling a young sun, ancient, known as Purusha, possessing the pride of the eastern face of the supreme Shiva, of tranquil nature, abiding among the Maruts, devoted to the worship of Shambhu's feet, the first among Shiva's seeds, possessing four aspects. In the eastern part, worshipped by me with devotion, together with Shakti, may the pure, supreme Brahman, which I have sought, grant my desire. Resembling collyrium and other dark hues, fierce, with a terrifying form, the southern face of the deity, worshipped at the feet of the god of gods, established in the path of knowledge, situated in the midst of the fire circle, the second among Shiva's seeds, endowed with eight aspects. In the southern region of Shambhu, worshipped together with Shakti, may the pure, middle Brahman, which I have sought, grant my desire. Resembling saffron powder, known as Vama, bearing a splendid form, the northern face of the Lord, established in the foundation, situated in the midst of the water circle, devoted to the worship of Mahadeva, the fourth among Shiva's seeds, endowed with thirteen aspects. In the northern region of the deity, worshipped together with Shakti, may the pure, supreme Brahman, which I have sought, grant my desire. White as conch, jasmine, and moon, known as Sandhya, possessing gentle qualities, the western face of Shiva, devoted to the worship of Shiva's feet, established in the state of cessation, abiding upon the earth, the third among Shiva's seeds, endowed with eight aspects. In the western region of the deity, worshipped together with Shakti, may the pure, supreme Brahman, which I have sought, grant my desire.
