In plain words

Fire rests in your right hand and does not burn it — namaḥ śivāya. Your very being is the imperishable, and Indra of the great strength stands bowed before you — namaḥ śivāya. To those who have been initiated you uncover your own blaze — namaḥ śivāya. Rider of the king of bulls, destination of everyone who lives in truth — to you, namaḥ śivāya.

Close to the Sanskrit

To him in whose right hand the fire abides — obeisance to Śiva. To him whose self is the imperishable, to him before whom mighty Indra bows — obeisance to Śiva. To him whose own splendour is revealed to the initiated — obeisance to Śiva. O you borne by the king of bulls, O goal of the good — to you, obeisance to Śiva.
