Chhand Text
न जानामि योगं जपं नैव पूजां। नतोऽहं सदा सर्वदा शंभु तुभ्यं॥ जरा जन्म दुःखौघ तातप्यमानं। प्रभो पाहि आपन्नमामीश शंभो॥ ८ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
na jānāmi yogaṃ japaṃ naiva pūjāṃ। nato'haṃ sadā sarvadā śaṃbhu tubhyaṃ॥ jarā janma duḥkhaugha tātapyamānaṃ। prabho pāhi āpannamāmīśa śaṃbho॥ 8 ॥
Meaning
I know neither yoga nor japa nor worship. O Śambhu, I bow to you always and at all times. O Lord, protect me—afflicted by the fires of old age, birth, and the mass of sorrows. O God, O Śambhu, I bow to you.
