Clad in deer-skin the great Mahadeva, having poured his own self as a libation in the sacrifice called Sarva, become the first of gods, and excelling all creatures in the universe and reigning Supreme over them thereby, shines in resplendence.
महादेवः सर्वयज्ञे महात्मा हुत्वाऽऽत्मानं देवदेवो बभूव। विश्वाल्लोकान् व्याप्य विष्टभ्य कीर्त्या विराजते द्युतिमान् कृत्तिवासाः॥
