MEANING: Chant the name of Lord Shiva, the supreme one, who dispels the fear of the materialistic world, the one who adorns the crescent shaped moon on His head and performs the cosmic dance. Chant the name of Lord Shiva, dancing to the rhythm of drums. Shankara, Lord of Girija, destroys the fear of the cycle of birth and death. Shiva, destroyer of evil, bestower of good; He holds the crescent moon on his forehead; Lord of Parvati, who destroys our bondage to wordly existence; Hear his anklets and his drum as he dances the dance that is the play of the universe. (A Prayer to Shiva He who Takes Away. The Embodiment of Peace and Auspiciousness, whose ecstatic Dance of Universal Destruction tears away the veils of ignorance. Oh Fearsome One, The Primordial Being who wears the moon as an ornament, free me from the chains of temporal existence. I bow to You.)
