Those who are pedagogues,

To them, you are not revealed, Oh  CHAKRAPANI ;

All those foolish people

Only indulge in the jugglery  ofwords.                                        ….7

 Only the saints understand you

Others remain baffled.

To you, My obeisance.

Respectful and with my whole body

prostrate in veneration before you                                            ….8

 Oh, you five - headed SHANKRA,

Oh, you wearer of garland of skulls,

Oh, you blue - throated DIGAMBARA,

Oh, you BRAHAMRUPA PASHUPATI !                                          ….9

 One who receits your name all the time,

His worldly adversities are immediately dissolved

Such is, oh DHURJATI,

The power of your  name.                                                        ….10

With obeisance at your feet,

I am writing this paean of praise;

Help me always to complete this mission,

Oh, you NILAKNTHA - the blue - throated  one!                      ….11

 Now, let me bow to the son of Arti (DATTATREYA),

To the family deity of Indira (VISHNU)

To Tukaram and all other saints;

So, also, to all the devotees.                                                   …..12

Hail, hail to you, Sainath,

Redeemer of sinners and mereciful one !

I lay my head down at your feet;

Now give me your protection                                                   ….13

 You are the whole world, the abode of bliss:

You, yourself , are Vishnu, the paragaon among men;

One whose wife is Uma !

You are also that enemy of  Cupid³                                         ….14

3. i.e. You are also Shankar
