He who is beyond everything that is going, coming and the past.

He who is endless, joy filled, wonderful and deathless Shivalinga.

2. God who does vigorous dance to the beat of drums,
The God worshipped by sage Mathanga,
He who is clad by the sky,
The God who cannot be seen in true form,
The God who is forever spotlessly pure,
The God who is forever dancing,
The Lord of the stage, the Lord of everybody.

He who punishes with his Kodanda bow,
He who berates bad behavior, He who destroys birth, death,
Old age, disease, sorrow and bad birth.
