Upamanyu said I said, Salutations to you, O illustrious one, O you who are the refuge of all things, O you who are called Mahadeva! Salutations to you who assume the form of Shakra, who are Shakra and who disguise yourself in the form of Shakra.
उपमन्युरुवाच नमो देवाधिदेवाय महादेवाय ते नमः॥ शक्ररूपाय शक्राय शक्रवेषधराय च।
