You are adept in dispelling worldly ailments. You are divine physician. Your lotus-like hands assure us protection. You are self-originated with five faces which symbolize Panchabhootas i.e five elements of nature. Oh Sambhu dwelling at Garta Teerdha, you eradicate leprosy. The Sun, the Moon and the Fire are your eyes. Your consort Visalakshi is glorious. Learned poets extol your glory. You are beautiful and subtle. You bear the burden of the Earth. You are commander of all spirits. You redeem us from transient worldliness. Brahma and Vishnu bow to you. You are Guha's father. You are the lord of all creatures. You are the Lord of Chitsabha court bedecked with precious gems.
