Shauṋkara harahara mahádeva Shiva shambho namámyaham Anádi anantastvaḿ Tava guńánina jánámyaham Káláni nádhigacchanti te Rúpáńi náticalanti te Atah tvaḿ kálottaraḿ Rúpottaraḿ smarámyaham Kańt́ake tvaḿ madhvasi prabhu Sauṋkat́e tvaḿ saháyohasi vibhu Karuńáruńe bhásayasi Svayambhústavḿ sarvakálam	শঙ্কর হরহর মহাদেব শিব শম্ভো নমাম্যহম্‌ অনাদি অনন্তস্ত্বং তব গুণানি ন জানাম্যহম্‌ কালানি নাধিগচ্ছন্তি তে রূপাণি নাতিচলন্তি তে অতঃ ত্বং কালোত্তরং রূপোত্তরং স্মরাম্যহম্‌ কণ্টকে ত্বং মধ্বসি প্রভু সঙ্কটে ত্বং সহায়োহসি বিভু করুণারুণে ভাসয়সি স্বয়ম্ভূস্ত্বং সর্বকালম্‌	Oh the Great Deity, Benevolent Adept,^{[nb 3]} Shiva auspicious, to You I pay respect. You have no beginning and no end; Your attributes are unknown by myself. You are not below temporal limitation; Your motion is not confined to form. As for time, by so much You overstep, I recollect, form-transcendent. In vexation, Master, You are like honey; In danger, You are helpful, hey the Almighty. Radiating kindness and compassion crimson, Forever You are Brahma, the Self-Created.
