He is araudraḥ, one whose nature is free of cruelty or harshness, ever calm and benevolent; kuṇḍalī, radiant with divine, coiled energy and adorned with celestial ornaments; chakrī, ever armed with the discus of cosmic order; vikramī, the one of immense and heroic strides; and ūrjitaśāsanaḥ, whose supreme rulership is established through sheer power and divine authority. He is śabdātigaḥ, beyond the reach of all sound and speech, untouched by name and form; yet as śabdasahaḥ, He upholds the power of sound as the Veda itself; He is śiśiraḥ, the cool, gentle refuge that calms the heat of worldly suffering; and śarvarīkaraḥ, the one who dispels the deepest darkness, bringing dawn to the long night of ignorance.

Among those who forgive, He is kṣamiṇāṃvaraḥ, the foremost — the highest exemplar of patience and compassion. He is vidvattamaḥ, the highest among the wise, the supreme knower of all knowledge and truth. As vītabhayaḥ, He is completely free from fear and removes fear from the hearts of His devotees.
