1. Matha Sindhoora masthakopari nruthyamana Padambuje,
Bhaktha chinthita Sidhi dhana vichakshanam Kamalekshanam,
Bukthi Mukthi phala Pradham, bhava Padamajarchitha poojitham,
Kruthivasasasm Asraye mama sarva sidhitham Easwaram.

I surrender to him who wears an animal hide, who is the God who grants all powers,
Who is a lotus eyed one who grants his devotees who think about.
His Lotus like feet which danced on the head of elephant's head gives all occult powers,
Who grants pleasure in life and salvation and who is worshipped by Goddess Lakshmi and Achyutha.

2. Vithadha priyam, Architham krutha, kruchra theevra thapas charai,
Mukthi Kamibhir Asrithair munibhir drudamala Bhakthibhi,
Mukthidham nija pada pankaja saktha manasa yoginaam,
Kruthivasasasm Asraye mama sarva sidhitham Easwaram.

I surrender to him who wears an animal hide, who is the God who grants all powers,
Who grants salvation to those who do not like wealth and who also,
Observes very harsh and great penance and to those sages who depend on him,
And also thirst for salvation with firm and very clear mind, and,
To those Yogis whose mind is concentrated on his real lotus like feet.

3. Krutha Daksha Makhadhpam, vara veera bhadra ganena vai,
Yaksha Rakshasas Marthya Kinnara deva Pannaga Vanditham,
Raktha Bug Gana Nadha hrud bramaranjali thangri saroruham,
Kruthivasasasm Asraye mama sarva sidhitham Easwaram.

I surrender to him who wears an animal hide, who is the God who grants all powers,
Who got killed Daksha who was a lord of a Yagna using Veerabhadra and his Ganas,
Who is saluted by Yakshas, Rakshasas, humans, Kinnaras, devas and serpents,
Who creates waves of devotion to him in the heart of Lord Ganesha who loves this earth.

4. Naktha Naadha Kala dharam, nagajaa payodhara neerajaa,
Liptha chandana pangh kumkuma pangilaa amala vigraham,
Sakthimantham Asesha srushti vidhanakam sakala prabhum.,
Kruthivasasasm Asraye mama sarva sidhitham Easwaram.

I surrender to him who wears an animal hide, who is the God who grants all powers,
Who wears the crescent of the lord of the night, who has the purifying form,
Thickly anointed with sandal paste and Kumkum from the breasts,
Of the lotus smeared daughter of the mountain,
Who is very strong, who arranges for creation and is the lord of all.

5. Raktha neeraja thulya pada payoja sanmani noopuram,
Pathana thraya deha patina pankajaksha sili mukham,
Vitha sailas saraasanam pradhu sinchanikrutha thakshakam,
Kruthivasasasm Asraye mama sarva sidhitham Easwaram.

I surrender to him who wears an animal hide, who is the God who grants all powers,
Who wears anklets made of white pearls on his red lotus like feet,
Who tore and destroyed the three cities, who has a white face with lotus like eyes,
And who presses hard his mountain like a bow of Khubera to control the serpent king.

Phala Sruthi

Ya Padeth cha dhine dhine sthava pancha rathnam Umapathe,
Prathareva mayaa kritham Nikhilagha thoola Mahaaanalam,
Thasya puthra kalahra mithra dhanani santhu Krupaa balath,
They Maheswara Sanhkara, akhila viswa nayaka saswatha.

Those who read the pentad of poems which are five gems on the Lord of Uma,
Which was composed by me every morning, would get their sins burnt by this great fire,
And his sons, wife, friends, and wealth would live long due to the strength of the grace,
Oh that great God Sankara, who is permanently the lord of all universe.
