रथमाकर्षते यस्तु रज्ज्वाकर्षेण वै मुने 5.1.36.
And whoever draws the chariot with a rope, O sage,
दक्षिणाभिमुखं यांतं नरदीपं द्विजोत्तम
When the Naradīpa is moving towards the south, O best of twice-born,
सूत्रेण वेष्टयेत्क्षेत्रं रथं देवमथापि वा
One should bind the field, the chariot, or even the deity with a thread.
प्रदक्षिणां तु सूर्यस्य भक्त्या कुर्वंति ये नराः
Those men who, with devotion, perform circumambulation of the Sun,
प्रातरुत्थाय यो भक्त्या मौनी याति दिवाकरम्
He who, rising in the morning, silently and with devotion goes to the Sun,
प्रविश्य दक्षिणेनैव रथचक्रं प्रपूजयेत्
Entering from the south, he should worship the wheel of the chariot.
पश्चिमं द्वारमाश्रित्य रथस्थं सूर्यमर्चयेत्
Taking position at the western gate, he should worship the Sun who is situated on the chariot.
पूर्वद्वारे तु गौर्दे या तथाश्वश्चैव दक्षिणे
At the eastern gate is the cow, and likewise the horse is at the southern gate.
कुर्यादेव तु यो यात्रां नरदीपस्य मानवः

गोसूर्यशिवशक्राणां स्वर्लोकं लभते शुभम्

हतेंऽधके महेशेन शूलेन त्रिशिखेन वै
When Andhaka was slain by Maheshvara with the trident bearing three points,
शंखं दध्मौ तदा विष्णुः सुराणां हितकाम्यया
Then Viṣṇu blew the conch, desiring the welfare of the gods.
तत्र संनिहितो विष्णुर्लिंगं चैव चतुर्मुखम्
There Viṣṇu was present, and also the four-faced liṅga.
देवस्य दक्षिणे भागे शूलेनाधिष्ठितः स्थितः
On the right side of the deity, established with the trident, he stood.
ते क्षीणाशेषपापौघाः प्राप्स्यंति परमां गतिम्

यः स्थूलसूक्ष्मप्रकटप्रकाशो यः सर्वभूतो न च सर्वभूतः
He is manifest as gross, subtle, and evident; he is all beings, yet not all beings.
सनत्कुमार उवाच भिन्नेंऽधके त्रिशूलेन ध्वनी रुद्रस्य निर्गतः
Sanatkumara said: When the triśūla pierced Andhaka, the sound of Rudra emerged.
तत्र स्नात्वा शुचिर्भूत्वा समाधिनियमेन च
There, after bathing and becoming pure, and with discipline of concentration,
हत्वांधके त्रिशूलश्च भोगवत्या जले ययौ पप्रच्छ केन कार्येण भवानिह समागतः
Having slain Andhaka, the triśūla entered the waters of Bhogavati; it asked, 'For what purpose have you come here?'
कथयामास शूलोसौ शंकरेणाहमीरितः
That triśūla spoke, 'I have been sent by Śaṃkara.'
भित्त्वा तमहमायातो भोगवत्या जले शुभे
Having pierced him, I have arrived in the auspicious waters of Bhogavati.
शूलोक्तं वचनं श्रुत्वा परमेशदिदृक्षया बहुवक्त्रसमाकीर्णं सुप्रभं सुमनोरमम्
Hearing the words spoken by the triśūla, desiring to see the Supreme Lord, surrounded by many faces, radiant and most delightful,
तं दृष्ट्वा त्रिदशाः सर्वे शूलेशं हाटकेश्वरम्
Seeing him, all the gods beheld Śūleśa, the Lord of Hāṭaka.
