Oh Lord SRIKANTHESA! Always engaged in protecting devotees, kindly save me!
You are the vanquisher of death. Your are of the form of pure bliss. You are the beloved of PARVATI, and you are adorned with pearl necklace.
You are the destoyer of host of enemies. You are the Lord of the world. You dwell in the hearts of great sages. Paying heed to the requests of celestials, you swallowed the dreadful poison, which emerged forth at the churning of the ocean of milk by the celestials and demons.
You are worshipped by INDRA. You are the friend of the afflicted. you destoy the onslaught of the Cupid. Your soft smile is resplendent. Your locks glisten with the light of the crescent moon.
Your feet resemble lotus flower. you are the beloved spouse of goddess GAURI. Your eyes brim with compassion. You fulfil the desires of devotees. You protect those who worship the feet of the great PANKAJANABHA.
