There on the jewelled divine throne, which was scented
with the juice of Mandāra flowers adorning the crowns of
gods offering salutations, sat Śiva the great Lord (9) who was
in that court of gods, who was the supreme master of all the
worlds, who was the royal swan taking a pleasure trip in lotus-
bed in the form of Vedānta (Upaniṣadic philosophy) (10),
who was of abundant virtues, who was the pearl of the oyster
in the form of ‘oṁkāra’ (oṁ - syllable), who was the abode of
the collection of all auspicious fortunes (11), who was the
reviving herb (sañjīvanauṣadha) for the beings falling into
swoon due to the poison of transmigration, who was shining
with eternal lustre, who was the divine tree (Kalpa tree)
granting emancipation (to those who surrendered to him)
(12), who was the bee enjoying abundant fragrance in the
form of infinite bliss, who had the buds in the form of the
three worlds emerging from the creeper in the form of his
inherent Śakti (13), who was the expert in bringing together
the flower-pots in the form of worlds, who stood in the position
of an emperor amidst the assembly of all gods (14), whose
body competed in lustre with a myriad orbs of moon, whose
attire was variegated in colour due to the clustre of lustres of
the nine jewels in his crown (15), who had adorned his crest
with the digit of moon which had the beauty of tender lotus
bulb, who was beautiful with the ear - ornaments made up of
auspicious flower - buds (16), who shone with the necklace
(muṇḍamālā) which was made up of rings of pearls, whose
face had the beauty that defeated the beauty of full moon
(17), whose three eyes represented the lotuses that bloomed
in the morning, whose sprout-like lower lip was charming

   with a faint smile and less talk (18), whose crocodile-shaped
   ear-rings were sporting with his cheeks, who was blackened
   on his neck with the blackness of the ‘Kālakūṭa’ - poison (19),
   whose arms resembling Mandāra trees which had sproutlike
   four hands that were adorned with the rays of the jewelled
   bracelets and armlets, (20), whose bosom was blessed with
   the embrace of Gaurī’s breasts, who was marked with golden
   sacred thread, who had attired in fine silken dress (21), who
   with a fresh pearl necklace hanging down to his navel appeared
   as if he were embraced by Gaṅgā descending from his head
   (22) and who remained at the front portion of the throne by
   occupying the moonlike crystal foot-hold with his foot which
   had the sprouting lustre of jewelled anklets. (23)
