The one with the blue throat
Neelkanth
who swallowed, transmuted
our poison
our death
I bow at His auspicious feet
Shiva Shambho
Beautiful One
who churns the Ocean of Milk
in every heart
lays bare the struggle between
angels and demons within
I bow at His triumphant feet
Lord of the Yogis
Destroyer and Restorer
Bholenath, Shankara
Unborn, beyond time
He who wears
the crescent moon and Ganga
in His majestic locks
who rescues us from
serpentine grip of samsara
and makes us luminous
like Him
I bow forever
a ray of light
at His illustrious feet
