Verse 6

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ६ ॥

In plain words

I never bathed the Liṅga, Śiva's emblem, in milk with honey and ghee, curd and jaggery. I never anointed it with sandal paste or worshipped it with flowers of beaten gold. I offered no incense, no camphor lamp, no food rich in many flavors. Forgive my offense: Śiva, Śiva, Śiva, O Śrī Mahādeva, Śambhu.

Close to the Sanskrit

The Liṅga—Śiva's emblem—was not bathed at all with milk mixed with honey and ghee, together with curd and jaggery; nor was it anointed with sandal paste and the rest; nor worshipped with flowers wrought of gold; nor at all with incense, camphor lamps, and food offerings rich in many flavors. My offense is to be forgiven: Śiva, Śiva, Śiva, O Śrī Mahādeva, Śambhu.
