धर्मपल्यः समाख्यातास्तासां पुत्रान् वदामि वः विश्वेदेवास्तु विश्वायाः साध्या साध्यानजीजनत्। मरुत्वत्यां मरुत्वन्तो वसोस्तु वसवस्तथा

English

This glorious thousand-rayed deity lord Siva is very auspicious. He has eight hands, a body semi-female and three eyes. He is the overlord of Devas. O brahmins, it is due to his favour alone that rain of various kinds occurs. The sun takes up water by his rays in order to give it back thousandfold. There is neither increase nor decrease of water, if we consider it duly. The wind presided over by Dhruva withdraws the rain. It falls off the planet sun and spreads through the sphere of the stars. At the close of the movement, it re-enters the sun and is presided over by Dhruva.
