Taniyamsam pamsum tava carana-pankeruha-bhavam

Virincih sanchinvan virachayati lokan avikalam;

Vahaty evam Shaurih katham api sahasrena shirasaam

Harah samksudy'ainam bhajati bhajati bhasito'ddhalama-vidhim.

Lord Brahma ,the creator of yore,

Selects a dust from your feet,

And creates he this world,

The great Adisesha* with his thousand heads,

Some how carries a dust of your feet,

With effort great,

And the great Lord Rudra,

Takes it and powders it nice,

And uses it as the holy ash.
