शिवाय गौरी वदनाब्ज वृन्द
सूर्याय दक्षाध्वर नाशकाय
श्री नीलकण्ठाय वृषध्वजाय
तस्मै शिकाराय नमः शिवाय
Shivaya Gauri Vadanabja Vrinda
Suryaya Dakshadhvara Nashakaya
Shri Nilakanthaya Vrishadhvajaya
Tasmai Shikaraya Namaha Shivaya
To the auspicious One who is like the sun causing the lotus face of Gauri to bloom,
Destroyer of the arrogant sacrifice of Daksha,
The blue-throated Lord Nilakantha whose banner bears the sacred bull,
To that Lord Shiva represented by the syllable ‘Shi’, salutations to Shiva.
