May He who is consort of Goddess Gauri, the daughter of Mountain King, who carries the celestial stream on his head, on whose brow rests the crescent moon, whose throat holds poison and whose breast is the support of a huge serpent, who is adorned by the ashes on his body, may that chief of gods, the lord of all, the destroyer of demons-the omnipresent Shiva-ever protect me,
Hare Rama
