TRANSLATION
We meditate on Shiva, the father of the three worlds, of sweet fragrance, who expands (spiritual) growth. Like the (fully ripened) cucumber (easily snapped) from its stem, may I be free from the bondage of death. May I not be without the nectar of immortality. Svaha (exclamation of offering)
