Eight Verses to the Siva-Linga
The linga which is worshipped by Brahma, Visnu and the gods, the linga graced and illuminated by purity; the linga which destroys the sufferings arising from birth--to that eternal Siva-linga, I bow.
The linga worshipped by the highest gods and sages; the linga which grants desires and creates compassion; the linga which takes away the pride of Ravana (ego)--to that eternal Siva-linga, I bow.
The linga which is annointed with all fine fragrances; the linga which causes the expansion of the intellect; the linga honored by siddhas, gods and asuras--to that eternal Siva-linga, I bow.
The linga which is adorned with gold and magnificent jewels; the linga which is radiant, encircled by the lord of cobras; the linga which destroyed the excessive sacrifice of Daksha--to that eternal Siva-linga, I bow.
The linga which is annointed with kunkuma (colored powder) and sandalwood; the linga which is adorned with a garland of lotuses; the linga which eliminates all accumulated sin--to that eternal Siva-linga, I bow.
The linga worshipped and attended by an array of gods; the linga with the sentiments and devotions (of its devotees); the linga which is the sun of many millions of suns--to that eternal Siva-linga, I bow.
The linga upon an eight-petaled lotus, encircled; the linga which is the cause of all manifestation; the linga which has removed the eight distresses--to that eternal Siva-linga, I bow.
The linga prayed to by the highest of gods and gurus to the gods; the linga ever worshipped with flowers from celestial gardens; the linga which is the essence of the supreme; higher than the highest--to that eternal Siva-linga, I bow.
