Antaka Maam Prati Maa Drishyam Enaam, Krodha Karaala Tamam viddhi deehi, Shankara Sevana Chinthana Dheero, Bheeshana Bhairava Shakti Mayosmi. (4) | O Antaka--the Destroyer!

Itham Upodha Bhavan Maya Samvee, Dhee Ddhiti dhaaritha Bhoorita Misra, Mrityu Yamantaka Karma Pishachair, Naatha Namostu Na Jaathu Vibhomi. (5) | Shankara! This world, is really, your own being.I realized this reality through the Samvit Shakti,which takes me away from ignorance. It is because of that true nature, I am not afraid of any Bhuuta, Pishacha, Mritue and Antaka---the four facets of death.(5) |

Prodhita Satya Vibhodha Mareechi, Prekshita Viswa Padaartha Satatwah, Bhaava Paraamrita Nirbhara Poorne, Twayi Aham Aathmani NirvriimAmi. (6) | O Shankara! It is because of your true radiance, that all the objects of the nature and all the elements are set in motion. I myself feel conscious radiance of immortality, which is of course, the Para---the transcendental state of mind, because of this true knowledge of Shiva--consciousness. (6) |
| |
Maanasa Gocharam Eti Yadaiva, Klesha Tanu Taapa Vidhaatri , Naatha! Tadaiva Mama Twad Abhedha, Stotra Paramrita Vrishtir Udheti. (7) | O Lord! When I undergo suffering in my mind and inflaming pain in my body, I immediately feel the cooling effects of the showers of Immortality, which is the non-duality between you and me. (7) |
| |
Shankara Satyam Idam Vritta Dhaana, Snaana Tapo Bhava Taapa Vinaashi, Taavaka Shastra Paraamrita Chintaa, Sindhyati Chetasi Nirvritti Dhararaa. (8) | O Shankara! keeping of fasts, charity, to bathing in the holy rivers, austerities, do cleanse the body, is verily, true. But the study & understanding of the Shaivistic scriptures, shower the blessings of immortality, immediately, when a devotee thinks of Shiva.(8) |

Nrityati Gaayati Hrishyati Gaadam, Samvid Iyam Mama Bhairavanatha , Tvaam Priyam Aapya Sudarsanam Ekam, Durlabham Anya Janai Sama Yajnam. (9) | O Bhairava Natha!
