Verse 2

"The One, Who is the sole, ubiquitous, 

and eternal, truth of the entire variegated Universe, 

Who is the ebullient joy of realization 

felt in the hearts of the great Siva yogis, 

Who shines as the supreme silence of pure Being 

free from the clash of dualities, 

Who is the unsullied Truth of the Grace of His Transcendental Being, 

Who is the unbroken joy of the Great Beyond 

shining as the One substratum and informing Light of all the mental states, 

Who is the great Awareness of space remaining unknown by all phenomenal knowledge, 

Who shines in the lotus of the heart of all devotees as great bliss-

I bow down to that supreme Lord, Mahadeva."

Verse 1

1.

" The One, Who upholds the entire variegated universe, 

Who alone constitutes all beings of the universe 

   and the consciousness animating them, 

Who is the their informing, Transcendental, Light of Life, 

Who is the great silence of Gnosis that knows no unrest, 

Who is the refuge of emancipation, 

The Eternal, Natural, Light and Space of Awareness, 

knowing no match for Its excellence, 

knowing nothing other than Its Being, 

the measureless delight of Being and Consciousness- 

I bow down to that Great Being, Lord Mahadeva."

Mahadeva Malai Benedictory Verse

"Adorations to the Supreme Lord 

    overflowing with Compassion,

    flooding the entire existence. 

The substratum of the entire phenomena

    of the mobile and immobile beings,

The Supreme Light of Grace filling all life 

     with Its clear, bright, unbroken Delight, 

The One 

    unbrokenly uttering 

    the indestructible truth of the Vedas 

     through His lotus-like mouth, 

Who has melted 

    even this adamantine rock of the mind of mine 

     filled with the treacherous darkness 

     of the delusion of untruth."
