He is the hidden one, veiled from ordinary sight yet deeply beloved by all. He is his own origin, pure beyond all taint, and the purifier of all creation. Marked by horns and fond of mountain peaks, he shines with a tawny hue. He is the king above all kings, untouched by any disease or imperfection. Delightful in nature, he is the lord of the gods, the ultimate refuge where all beings find rest. He is the means by which every accomplishment is attained. With an eye upon his forehead, he surveys the universe as its god, his form glowing with a golden radiance, embodying the very brilliance of Brahman. He rules over all that is immovable, and he increases the strength of those who discipline their senses. His every action is filled with purpose, his very being is perfection itself. Beyond the grasp of thought, he is steadfast in his vows and ever pure. He is the lord of vows, the supreme Brahman, the highest goal for devotees who seek him. Bestowing his grace upon them, he is himself liberated and radiant with the light of liberation. Glorious in his nature, he brings prosperity to all, and he is, indeed, the universe itself. Thus ends this portion of the Śrī Śiva Sahasranāma Stotram, known as the Uttara Pīṭhika, which reveals these sacred names and glories of Śiva.
