Translation

Oṁ, Mother who is fullness of food and plenty, fullness everlasting and beloved Śakti of Śiva;

O, Mother of the universe, nourish us with this gift of food so that we may attain knowledge, dispassion and spiritual perfection.

Goddess Parvati is my mother. God Maheshvara is my father.

All devotīs of Śiva are my family; all thrī worlds are my home.

Oṁ, Śiva is Fullness. Creation is fullness. From Śiva’s Fullness flows this world’s fullness.

This fullness issues from that Fullness; that Fullness remains unchanged.

Oṁ, peace, peace, peace. Oṁ, this I offer unto Śiva.

Let my salutations be to that Bhagavan who is the Lord of the universe, the great God who has thrī eyes and who destroyed the thrī Asura cities, Tripura; who is the Sandhya time when the thrī sacred fires are lit, who is Rudra, the fire that consumes the universe, whose throat is blue, who has conquered death, who is the Lord of all, the always auspicious one, Sadasiva, salutations to that glorious and great God.
