कलातीत कल्याण कल्पान्तकारी। सदा सज्जनानन्ददाता पुरारि। चिदानन्द सन्दोह मोहापहारि। प्रसीद प्रसीद प्रभो मन्मथारि ॥ ६ ॥
Beyond time, timeless, welfare incarnate, the creation's end, Enemy of Tripura, who gives pleasure and happiness to the worthy, Giver of eternal bliss, who removes worldly entanglements, Kamadeva's destroyer, bless me, you churn my heart. ॥ 6 ॥

न यावद् उमानाथपादारविन्दम्। भजन्तीह लोके परे वा नराणाम्। न तावत्सुखम् शान्ति सन्तापनाशम्। प्रसीद प्रभो सर्वभूताधिवासम् ॥ ७ ॥
Husband of Parvati, till we worship your lotus feet, We can never attain peace and joy in this world or in heaven, Or mitigate or lessen our suffering, Lord who resides in the heart of all, be pleased with me and my offering. ॥ 7 ॥

न जानामि योगम् जपम् नैव पूजाम्। नतोऽहम् सदा सर्वदा शम्भु तुभ्यम्। जराजन्मदुःखौघ तातप्यमानम्। प्रभो पाहि आपन्नमामीश शम्भो ॥ ८ ॥
Oh Shambho, I know not yoga, or penance or worship or prayer, But I always honor you, Oh my Lord, always be my savior, Suffering the cycle of death, birth and old age, I burn, Lord, protect this pained one from grief, I offer you my devotion. ॥ 8 ॥
