Love of the Gods

My God is the melter of my heart of love. Let all adore my God, the Lord of primal love, first of beings, my Śiva, who again and again melts my heart. May He render me His love in foremost measure! Praise Him but once, the Pure and Holy One, and He will be your escort to heaven. He, Lord Śiva, decked in honeyed konrai blooms, sits enthroned in my love, steadfast and free.§
