Atmatvam Girija matih sahacharaha prana shareeram gruham

You are my Atma, my thoughts are Girija (daughter of Himavanta, Goddess Parvati), the vital energies that make me are your companions, the body is your home
Worshiping you with the enjoyment of the objects of the senses, sleep is the state of samadhi
All my walk with my feet is the act of circumambulation- Pradakshina, all the words that I talk are your stotras
All the work I do is all the worship (Aradhana) of yours, O Lord Shambhu
Karacharana krutam vaa kayajam karmajam va

Whatever the Sins I had committed with my hands and feet or by the speech and the body

Victory to you, Victory to you, The ocean of compassion, the Great God, Shambhu (The one who gives the Auspiciousness, God Shiva)
