shivaya gauri vadanabja vrnda

suryaya dakshadhvara nashakaya

sri nilakanthaya Vrshadhvajaya

tasmai shi karaya namah shivaya

He who is auspicious and who is like the newly risen sun causing the lotus-face of Gauri to blossom,

He who is the destroyer of the sacrifice of Daksha,

He who has a blue throat and has a bull as his emblem,

Salutations to that Shiva, who is represented by the syllable "shi"
