Vandhitha muni samooham

The God who is with Tripura Sundari,
Who is the blessed father of Guru Guha,
And one worshipped by collection of sages.

Aadhithya koti prakasa lingam

He who is worshipped by Brahma and Vishnu,
Who has the form of God Thyagaraja,
And is the Linga worshipped by billions of Suns.

Nandi poojitha Swayambhu lingam,
Naga Kavacha dhara saikatha lingam.

The self born Linga worshipped by Nandi,
Which wears the armour of serpent and is made of sand.
