Bhagavan Rudra! We are conscious of your fury and the power of your arrows, bow and the mighty hands. We are aware that your arrows and their pulsation against the Evil and feel secure and comfortable. The Resident of Kailasa! Your extremely tranquil demeanor and Placid assurance is an unending source of propitiousness and knowledge to us. Bhagavan of the mountains and bestower of Peace and contentment! Do kindly hold your arrows for punishing the wicked and uphold virtue but not to destroy the Universe.

Do kindly favour and plead for me, my family, cattle and all the rest so that we all exist in Peace, Prosperity, Excellent Physical and Mental Health and all round auspiciousness. You are indeed the outstanding Physician as also the desroyer ; do very kindly not let us harm by visible and invisible antagonists. Like Surya Deva who is red in the early mornings and as day progresses gets gradually golden yellowish and beneficient, Rudra Deva! you too get angry intially but merciful and auspicious eventually when we approach you with veneration.

May Neelakantha the blue throated One protect us even as he like Sun God upswings with pink complexion in early mornings when cowherds, water carriers and the rest of the world get active and enthused for the day in our chores with joy and contentment. Our prayers and greetings to you the Sahasraakhsha or the Thousand Visioned Kapardini with matted hairs of head! Kindly relax from your angry stance and put back your arrows in your mighty arms; in fact, do place your bow and arrows put off and may your sword be kept back into the sheath. Do accept our worship Bhagavan Vishweshwara, Maha Deva, Triambika, Tripurantaka, Trikaala, Kaalaagni, Rudra, Neela Kantha, Mrityunjaya, Sarveshwara, Sada Shiva and Shrimaan!)

Maha Rudra! You are the one with golden hands, the Commander-in-Chief of the Divine Forces, the Over Lord of the Universe. Our greetings to the trees with fresh green leaves tufted on your head-hair; to the ‘Pashus’or the human-bovine-sky bound and underworld Beings who are too engaged in your worship; Your physique emits varied complextions of yellow, crimson, and red ; You are the rider of a bull; the All-Knowing Bhagavan whose vision penetrates every body and every thing; You are the Lord of mighty trees and insignificant plants and grass; You bestow food; You are the dark haired, the wearer of Yagnopaveeta; the grantor of health and strength; the unique Savior of the Worlds; the destroyer of tribulations; the recuer of Kshetras Sacred Places, Forests and Fam Lands; the Advisor to Advisors; the Lord of Traders and Entrepreneurs; the Supreme Controller of Army and Defence Forces; the Creator of Existence and the Universe and the Singular Physician; indeed You are the Outstanding Warrior who rumbles and cracks enemies away.

Tandava Murti Rudras! Your courage and intrepidity are so well recognised across the Worlds that even sudden spurts of enemies all around are faced by you with coolness and are not only subdued but extinguished for ever. Indeed You are the cynosure in the battle fields when you slit the throats of the most dreaded opponents by the least possible exertion even as you dance and revel in their termina -tions by the least possible exertion. Our intense admiration for you Tandava Murtis! As You wield your sword with a powerful hold and enjoy the dance of bliss, One could never witness such a scene of ecstasy and mesme rise us we feel that you indeed are the Supreme Thief of our hearts and souls! Our heart felt salutations to You the outstanding Robber of Senses! Indeed, Bhagavan is of the Swarupa of the playful Chief of bandits, forest hunters and thieves who are observant and ready to srike; such robbers move about night-long and carry swords; they also wear turbans to hide their identity and move about mountains and jungles. Rudra Deva! You are an expert to release arrows and hit exact targets! Bhagavan! We seek to prostrate before you as you recline and relax! Tandava Rudras! You are awake while asleep. You bear the personalityof he who is on the run while standing still! Paramatma! You preside over conferences and peculiar occasions. You are like the horse that carries the destinies of various Beings.

Bhagavan! You could perforate and penetrate any body and any material from any where. You have the ability to control and subdue all kinds of forces be they malevolent or benevolent like Ganapati and his army or the evil species of Vinaayakas and their outfits. You also manifest as the forces of avariciousness or generousity and their respective corps. You also assume the forms of countless races and their Chiefs; of Devas and their attendants; of several Forms and the Formless; the Illustrious and the nameless insignificant; the Charioteers, Chariots and the Personalities driven there on; the individuals enlisted in armies as also the Senapatis; as carpenters or chario ma kers; the clay and metal makers or artisans; as fishermen or chicken feeders; arrow and bow makers; hunters or wolf-deer- fox- grey-hounders as also their keepers!

Bhagavan! You are Bhava the Originator and Rudra the Demolisher! You Create and also Destroy! Our prostrations to You as the Protector and Preserver all the Beings in the Universe kept in captivity. Neela Greeva! Your throat is blue but neck is white! Kapardini! You have matted hair and clean shaven; you have thousands of eyes and hundreds of bows; you are stated to reside in mountains but exist in the consciences of every Being; you shower benedictions as though they are rains! Some times you are like a ‘Vamana’ and as also as a Virat Purusha! You are magnificent, superb and glorious; You are adorable and ever expansive by litanies; He is all pervading and appears instantly. You are the most ancient and the Ageless and praised the highest as the Creator present far before Srishthi of the Universe; You are in the high waves of Oceans as also quiet waters or in inundations or islands; Bhagavan! You are the Eldest and the Youngest too yet unborn! None had ever existed before You and would give birth after You too; You are the One existing as Madhyama or in the intermission of Creation and Pralaya the Great Extinction; the intervening time is non existent. None ever ehisted behind or under You. You are the Creator of Virtue and Evil yet a vibrant and dynamic ‘Samsara’. You are the One who manifested Yama the Symbol of Death –yet Preserved and Protected till One’s death. You are the eldest and the youngest; none existed before you and the totality got manifested only after you;You are also the Madhyama present in the intermission after Creation -the Great Extinction at Pralaya and Punah Srishti or the Creation again in the Cycle of Life. None existed before or behind you or underneath. You are the Generator of Virtue and Evil alike yet Life has always been vibrant and changing. You are the One caused Yama the God of Death yet preserved and protected albeit in the intervals of existence. We are grateful to you for the gifts of Nature which again is generated and resuscitated from time to time; the prominent gifts include- Crops and Food, Farmlands and Trees; the climate and livable conditions; Sound and Echos; Senas or defence Forces, our safety to move about fast and freely and speedy chariots to carry the warriors to destroy enemies. Devadhi Deva! You don military clothing, helmets and kavachas or body- shields for our sake. Our gratitude to you who is aptly praised by Vedas for materialing such worthy soldiers for our shelter and well being.

Our prayers to you Maha Deva! For our sake again, You take the Form of War Drum and and club; You would never show your back in battles and is highly calculative of war schemes; some times you assume the role of mediator [ like Lord Krishna mediating between Pandavas and Kauravas] when Wars are ahead; You sport a sword and arrows when wars become inevitable as at the demolition of Tripuraasuras; then you are fully armed with most potent weapons. Bhagavan! You are present every where- by high ways to the narrowest lanes as also thin water to huge sarovaras, streams or water falls from high altitudes, swampy places or sludges, or fountains and wells; or Jeena Nadis or ever flowing Rivers like Ganga, or rain waters in the absence of rains.Rudra Deva! You assume the Forms of clouds and lightning or rains mixed with Sunshine in the Sharad Ritu /Autumn Season or Varsha/ Rainy season or rains cloud bursts or hail storms. Our greetings to Soma Deva/ Rudra Deva! You appear with copper complexion and with red rosy lips; You are the symbol of joy auguring happiness to one and all as also the Pashupati or the Over Lord of all the Live Beings; You are terrifying and formidable to even look or glance capable of punishing unhesitantly of the enemies nearby or away; you are the most ruthless exterminator at the Time of Pralaya. Maha Deva! Your head hair remind us of to the Grand Trees and the green leaves signifying prosperity;You are the personification of Salvation and of Pranava Mantra; You are the Flagship of joy and contentment; You are Icon of Auspiciousness ‘par excellence’! You are the representation of the Blessed Tirthas of Sacred Rivers like Ganga and their banks; You are the magnifecent Paramatma who is on the other side of the Ocean of Samsara and You are the Mantra which is germinated by the Knowledge of what you are all about that could ferry the lashning waves and reach you; You are the One who is present when we enter Samsara and inspire us to perform those ‘Karmas’ or Deeds as the Fruits in your Storage or the Destiny; You are every where-be it the grass on the banks or the foam of the water body waves hitting on the banks;

Bhagavan! You are present in such odd places as salty and trampled , rocky and rough, and such others where none chooses to visit.Yet you rest with your matted hair as a headgear and appear relaxed before your devotees! You stay in go-shaalas and homes, reside in huge, deep jungles and impermeable mountain caves, through dust and hazy spots, alike in shrivelled deserts where no grass or greenery is in sight, on Earth or fathomless Oceans; you are with hordes of Rudra Ganas around you with piercing tridents and other dreadful weapons ready to attack and smash. But Bhagavan! You are fond of encouraging Devas in our heart and bless them in your Virat Swarupa; indeed they are blessed and get entrusted with their responsibilities of administering the affairs of the Universe! Parameshwara! You choose to be poor despite your being the origin of opulence! You expose us humans to miserable conditions devoid of food and such other bare needs of livelihood to us, children, domestic animals! Neela lohita! We do realise that you are dispassionate and impartial and we ought to suffer and deserve retribution from the store of our misdeeds; Yet, do kindly pardon us as you are our unique shelter. May our sins be destroyed as we do desire to initiate a positive account of our selves here onwards and be worthy of our devotion to you. We will indeed truly seek to follow the foot steps of Manu and seek to deserve our prostrations to you. But as of now, Bhagavan! Do not torment us, our elders, babies and our entire generation. We beseech you Rudra Deva the fierce and ruthless to the Evil; yet, you are Shiva too the embodiment of Shubha and Mangala-auspiciousness and fulfillment. Do also advise to Devas to give full consideration in our favour too to help us and fulfill our wishes. While we make sincere supplications to you Maha Rudra! when you as a youthful Lion ready to destroy, let not your Ganas attack us but the Evil Forces; instead you do bless us and our family members even as diverting your weapons far away from us! May those Rudra Ganas loosen the strings and their bows be taken off from us by thousands of yojanas! Rudra Bhagavan! You possess thousands of destructive weapons in your thousands of arms and indeed You command all of them; but let not the weaponry turn against our faces!

Neela greeva! Shiti Kantha! Sharva! These manifestations are yours as the Blue Throated with Poison called Kaala kuta that engulfed the Worlds at Amrita Mathana and deposited permanently in your throat- Shiti Kantha or the Dwadasa Rudras elsewhere with white and bright throats-and Sharva the Destroyer! May your bow strings be loosened and bows be kept away thousands of yojanas from us! May the Rudra manifestations of green grass colour, the dark throat colour, the red complexion be all relax the bow strings and kept far aloof; May Rudras provide succor as food and water to and protect us from the Evil and restore the bows and arrows else where; May Rudras appear at our paths, roads and Sacred Tirthas and rest their bows afar; May Rudras with daggers and swords protect us but withdraw the bows and arrows; May Rudras enter our households and ensure our safety but certainly withdraw long shot arrows and their bows; May Rudras on Earth in Dasha Dishas or Ten Directions shover food and bounties, at Antariksha and all over too as our ten fingers meet in sincere salutations and prostrations; let the antagonistic faces and mouth be shut and let Peace and Contentment prevail all over the Universe. May the Three Eyed Parama Shiva spread fragrance all over, may all the Beings in the Universe be contented ; May He permeate in Water, Fire, Crops, and having surfeited us all with fulfillments, do kindly release us like a ripe fruit into the realms of Eternal Bliss! Indeed May He who holds his powerful arrows is the Endless Source of all kinds of medicines against our Physical, Phychological and Spiritual Shortcomings and Illnesses! We ought to be fortunate to possess our appropriate hands to worship Lingarchana and deserve our gratitude to Him for ever!
