In plain words
Praise to you, whose anklet raged at Death! Praise to you, First of the gathered roots! Praise to you who possess the great city of Oṟṟi! Praise to you, First one who became everything! Praise to you, nectar that grows richer each time one draws near! Praise to you, Lord who has no other equal! Praise to you who are near to those who love! Praise to you, honey of endless sweet taste! Praise to you who have forgotten deceitful men! Praise to you who relished poison as nectar! Praise to you, seed of the world of the spreading sea! Praise to you who joined as water full of longing! Praise to you, Hara, the linchpin of that rightness of mind in which the reality one longs to see and thinks upon comes to dwell! Since you have these qualities, heat and coolness, praise to you whose name is female with male! Praise to you, Śiva, who became the lamp that places those who come to you in release! Praise to you who are Viṣṇu! Praise to you who are Brahmā of the Veda! Praise to you who are above! Praise to you, Vedic one! Praise to you, Moon! Praise to you who are fire! Praise to you, Indra! Praise to you, Lord! Praise to you, Immortal! Praise to you, Beautiful one! Praise to you, Kumāra! Praise to you, Dancer! Praise to you, Reality, praise! Unless one recites this to you until the tongue is scarred, who on this wide earth is fit to praise you?
