Meaning: ShambhO! MahAdEva! Shankara! Beloved by Girija! Protector of those who reahced out to Your Feet! With lotus like eyes! I plead for the devotion to Your lotus feet. Height of mercy! Holding deer in hand! Hara! Wearing the Ganges and moon! Residing in the heart of Tyagaraja! One with the Feet dipped in the gemful crowns of divines! Lord of Kovur! SundarEsha! Lord of the Mount! Ultimate Supreme! Remover of birth!
