Glory to Lord Shiva, the one who is auspiciousness personified and the one who destroys the fear of this materialistic world. He is the sustainer of the three worlds, the one who swallowed the 'haalaahala' poison for the sake of His devotees. He is supremely pure and is the very embodiment of Om (Pranava). Glory to the consort of Gowri and the one who holds the Holy river Ganga in His matted locks. Glory to the eternally blissful Lord.
