Akalamrtyoh Pariraksanarthan vande mahakalamahasuresam

• The first verse: Salutations to Lord Shiva, who wears the serpent as a sacred thread (Nagendraharaya) and has three eyes (trilacanaya). He is adorned with ashes (bhasma) and is the great Lord (mahesvaraya). He is eternal (nityaya), pure (suddhaya), and clothed in the sky (digambaraya). I bow to that auspicious Shiva (shivaya).
• The second verse: Salutations to Lord Shiva, who is bathed with the waters of the holy Ganges (Mandakini) and adorned with sandalwood paste (candana). He is the Lord of Nandi and the master of Pramathas (nandisvara pramathanatha mahesvaraya). He is worshipped with many flowers, including the Mandara flower (Mandarapuspa bahupuspa supujitaya). I offer my salutations to him (namah shivaya).
• The third verse: Salutations to Lord Shiva, whose body is fair like snow (Shivaya gauri vadanabjavrnda) and who shines like the sun (Suryaya). He is the destroyer of the arrogance of the demon Daksha (daksadhvaranasakaya) and is known as Nilakantha for having consumed the poison during the churning of the cosmic ocean (Shri nilakanthaya vrsabhaddhajaya). I bow to that auspicious Shiva (namah shivaya).
• The fourth verse: I praise and bow to Mahakala, the supreme Lord, who incarnated in the city of Avantika (Ujjain) to bestow liberation (muktipradanaya) upon the righteous (sajjananam). He protects devotees from untimely death (Akalamrtyoh Pariraksanarthan) and is the Lord of the universe (mahakalamahasuresam).

These verses beautifully express devotion and reverence to Lord Shiva, seeking his blessings for various aspects of life, including protection, liberation, and spiritual growth. Reciting these hymns with sincerity and devotion can enhance one's connection with the divine and foster inner transformation.
