शंभुः प्रहस्याथ तदा महेशः संजीवयामास पिनाकपाणिः ३२.
Śambhu, the great Lord, Pinākapāṇi, then smiled and revived him.
उपस्थितोऽसौ त्वथ लज्जमानस्तुष्टाव देवं वृषभध्वजं तम् ३२.
He approached, and feeling ashamed, praised the god Vṛṣabhadhvaja.
कालांतक त्रिपुरेश त्रिपुरांतकर प्रभो ३२.
O destroyer of Time, Lord of Tripura, slayer of Tripura, O Lord—
दक्षयज्ञविनाशश्च कृतो हि परमाद्भुतः ३२.
The destruction of Dakṣa’s sacrifice was indeed accomplished, most wondrous.
ग्रसितं तत्त्वया शंभो अन्येषामपि दुर्द्धरम् ३२.
That which is unbearable for others, O Śambhu, you have devoured.
लयनाल्लिंगमित्युक्तं सर्वैरपि सुरा सुरैः ३२.
Because of dissolution, the gods and demons all call you Liṅga.
लिंगस्य देवदेवस्य महिमानं परस्य च नमस्ते शितिकण्ठाय नमस्तस्मै कपर्दिने॥ ३२.
Homage to the greatness of the liṅga, the supreme Lord of gods; obeisance to Śitikaṇṭha, obeisance to that matted-haired one.
नमोनमः कारणकारणाय ते नमोनमो मंगलमंगलात्मने ३२.
Salutations again and again to you, the cause of all causes; salutations again and again to you, whose essence is both auspicious and inauspicious.
त्वमेव सर्वं जगदेवबंधो वेदांतवेद्योऽसि महानुभावः ३२.
You alone are everything, the bond of the world; you are to be known through the end of the Vedas, you are of great glory.
त्वं पासि लुंपसि जगत्त्रितयं महेश स्रष्टासि भूतपतिरेव न कश्चिदन्यः॥ ३२.
You protect, you dissolve the three worlds, O great Lord; you are the creator, the lord of beings—there is truly no other.
इति स्तुतस्तदा तेन कालेन जगदीश्वरः ३२.
Thus praised at that time by him, the Lord of the universe—
मनुष्यलोके सकले नान्यस्त्वत्तो हि विद्यते ३२.
In the entire world of humans, there is truly no one besides you.
मया हतमिदं विश्वं जगदेतच्चराचरम् ३२.
By me, this universe, this world of moving and unmoving beings, has been destroyed.
स हि ते चानुगो जातो महाराज प्रयच्छ मे ३२.
He has indeed become your follower, O great king; grant him to me.
एवमुक्तस्तदा तेन श्वेतः कालेन चैव हि ३२.
Thus addressed at that time by him—by Śveta and also by Kāla—
शिवस्य परमं रूपं त्वमेको नास्ति संशयः ३२.
You alone are the supreme form of Śiva; there is no doubt.
तस्मात्पूज्यतमोऽसि त्वं सर्वेषां च नियामकः व्रजंति विविधैर्भार्वैरात्मलक्षणतत्पराः॥ ३२.
Therefore, you are most worthy of worship and the ruler of all; those devoted to the marks of the self approach with various forms.
तेनैवं रक्षिततः कालो राज्ञा परमधर्मिणा ३२.
Thus, Kāla was protected by that king of supreme righteousness.
तदा यमेन स्तवितो मृत्युना यमदूतकैः ययौ स्वमालयं विप्रा मेने स्वं जनितं पुनः॥ ३२.
Then, praised by Yama, by Death, and by Yama's messengers, he went to his own abode, O brāhmaṇas, and considered his own origin again.
मायया सह पत्न्या च शिवस्य चरितं महत् ३२.
Together with his wife and Māyā, he recounted the great deeds of Śiva.
कथयामास सर्वेषां दूतानां स्वयमेव हि ३२.
He himself narrated to all the messengers.
कर्त्तव्यं च प्रयत्नेन नान्यथा मम भाषितम्॥ ३२.
What is to be done must be done with effort; my words are not otherwise.
ये त्रिपुण्ड्रंधारयंति तथा ये वै जटाधराः ३२.
Those who bear the tripuṇḍra, and those who wear matted hair—
उपजीवनहेतोश्च भिया ये ह्यपि मानवाः ३२.
And those humans who, out of fear or for livelihood, do so—
नानेतव्या भवद्भिश्च मम लोकं कदाचन ३२.
You must never lead anyone to my realm.
अन्येषां का कथा दूता येऽर्चयंति सदाशिवम् ३२.
What need is there to speak of others, when messengers worship Sadāśiva?
रुद्राक्षमेकं शिरसा बिभर्ति यस्तथा त्रिपुंड्रं च ललाटमध्यके ३२.
Whoever wears a single rudrākṣa bead upon his head, and likewise the three lines in the middle of his forehead,
यस्मिन्राष्ट्रोऽथ वा देशे ग्रामे चापि विचक्षणः तद्राष्ट्रं देशमित्याहुः सत्यं प्रतिवदामि वः॥ ३२.
In whatever kingdom, region, or village such a wise person dwells, that kingdom or region is called blessed; I declare this truth to you.
यस्मिन्न संति नित्यं हि शिवभक्तिसमन्विताः ३२.
Wherever there are not those always endowed with devotion to Śiva,
एवमाज्ञापयामास यमोऽपि निजकिंकरान् ३२.
Thus Yama also instructed his own attendants.
