Chhand Text

नमामीशमीशान निर्वाणरूपं। विभुं व्यापकं ब्रह्म वेदस्वरूपं। निजं निर्गुणं निर्विकल्पं निरीहं। चिदाकाशमाकाशवासं भजेऽहं॥ १ ॥

Meaning

O Shiva, whose very form is liberation, the all-pervading, omnipresent Brahman, whose nature is the Vedas! I bow to you. You are established in your own essence, beyond the guṇas, beyond distinctions, free of desire, like pure consciousness, and clad in the sky itself; I worship you.
