न माता पिता वा न देवा न लोका न वेदा न यज्ञा न तीर्थं ब्रुवन्ति । सुषुप्तौ निरस्तातिशून्यात्मकत्वा त्तदेकोऽवशिष्टः शिवः केवलोऽहम् ॥ ३॥
Neither the mother nor the father. Neither the celestial gods nor the earth, Neither the Vedas, nor the fire sacrifice, Nor the holy waters, they say, exist in sleep. But there is no void in sleep, either. So I am simply Shiva the self, For this remains even in sleep, After everything is taken out.
