The Sages:
O, Lord, the possessor of six potential qualities(Bhagavan)! You are the governing Lord of the
gods of lower realm and the higher realm. You are relieving the bound souls from the bonds
which constrict them. You are performing the five cosmic actions- creation, maintenance,
dissolution, concealment and bestowal of grace. You are the one who directly maintains
the evolutionary process of space and other categories issuing out of the great maya. Your
form is of the nature of auspicious mass of bliss springing forth from within your own self
and of the nature of your own pure consciousness. You are inseperably united with supreme
Sakti who is in the form of supreme consciousness. You are eternally free from the limiting
factors such as direction, space and time. Through your pervasive presence, You exist as the
perennial source for the delighted state of the worlds. O, the Lord of all gods!, we have
been directed by you to engage ourselves in the systematic worship of Siva. In order to perform
that worship perfectly, be favorably disposed now to instruct the principles enshrined in the
Scripture which is the quintessence of the Scriptures revealed from the faces of Lord Siva.
O, the Lord of all gods!, you are with such a compassion which spontaneously flows towards
your devotees. Be kind enough to insruct those principles.
