What persons in the universe can acquire tranquility without pleasing Rudra who is freed from decrepitude and death, who is effulgent like the Sun, the Moon, or the Fire, who is the root or original cause of everything real and unreal in the three worlds, and who exists as the one indivisible?
दिवसकरशशाङ्कराह्रिदीप्तं त्रिभुवनसारमसारमाद्यमेकम्। अजरममरमप्रसाद्य रुद्रं जगति पुमानिह को लभेत शान्तिम्॥
