O Rudra! O Girishanta By that form of Yours which is not terrifying, which destroys sin by its mere remembrance, and which is all blissful, please behold us and unite us with the highest good!
Om Namah Shivaya
May we not forget that by mere remembrance of Girisha -- Lord of Giri, the number "eight "' (there being 8 mountains which surround mount Meru and seven plus one rishis in the body) -- destruction of sins take place.
Om Namah Shivaya
In north India, mendicants sing thus:
Humre Bhole Baba ko bhikari na samajhiyo.
(Don’t take our Shiva for a beggar).
Humre Bhole Baba ke haath mein damru: damru ke sanga se madari na samajhiyo!
(Don’t mistake him for a bear-trainer by his drum).
Humre Bhole Baba ke haath hai trishula: trishula ke sanga se samhari na samajhiyo!
(Don’t mistake him for a destroyer by the trishul in his hand)
Humre Bhole Baba ke sanga hai Gauri: Gauri ke sanga se sansaari na samajhiyo!
(Don’t take him for a samsari because Gauri is by him).
Humre Bhole Baba ko bhikari na samajhiyo.
(Don’t take our Shiva for a beggar).
Om Namah Shivaya
