: The one who holds the holy river Ganga in his matted locks.
A beautiful contemporary tribute to the lord of the mountains. When to Listen
I gaze upon your form in my heart. Your matted locks hold the sacred river Ganga, the purifier of sins. The crescent moon adorns your brow, cool and radiant, calming the fires of worldly suffering. Your body is smeared with the holy ash (Vibhuti), reminding us that all worldly things eventually return to dust.
(Verse 3 – The Compassionate One) Bhole bhaktan ke rakhwale, Aa pukaarein tujhe, aas lagaaye bhaale. Vishwanath, Kashi ke vaasi, Jagat ke pitah, tum hi ho sukh-raasi. Maangta hoon bas ek daan, Charan-kamal ka miley nidhaan. Mann ki maala, nayan ka jal, Paar karo Shambhu, bhav-saagar yeh tal.
