O Lord Shiva, salutations to Thee. You are the embodiment of primordial sound Om, the one who exhibits humility and bestows auspiciousness. You adorn the crescent moon and the mighty serpent, dancing to the rhythm of drums during creation. All Gods and eminent people worship You, O Lord Shiva. May the bells and drums resonate "Om Namah Shivaya" while You perform the Cosmic Dance.
