whose only wealth is an old bull, who turns his face away from all ritual acts! / No one knows him, nor does he ever have a lineage; / he does not have even one name, nor can the country he belongs to be determined. / What is his conduct, what is his practice? He is the Lord merely in name; / nothing indicative of lordship is observed in him! / Oh, yet this very one gives the wealth of nirvāṇa even to an impoverished wretch; / being gracious, he renders all actions fruitful. / Known through the Vedas, omniscient, he whose progeny is the entire world— / whom no one at all knows in the beginning of the Vedas, he indeed is to be known through the Vedas! / He who seems ignorant and ever unknown, this very one is omniscient; / he whose single name no man can know— / surely the names of all beings are his names! / He indeed belongs to all lands and bestows all perfections upon all. / Whose country was unknown, who turned away from worldly vocation, / whom formerly I, hard of intellect, regarded as devoid of proper conduct— / from whom alone the Śruti and Smṛti derive all proper conduct! / Whom I certainly knew as Lord in name alone, / he is the Lord directly; he is the one who indicates lordship in others! / The repository of all qualities, yet transcending qualities, both higher and lower, / he is here both near and far, higher than the highest! / I am the lord of mountains; he is Viśvanātha, the lord of Umā. / I possess measured wealth; he has immeasurable riches! / Therefore, with this paltry present, I shall not / see him now; I shall do so sometime after returning!’ / Having decided thus in mind at evening, that lord of mountains, / summoning all his mountain attendants of great might, / gave this command: ‘All of you are exceedingly strong; / carry out one command of mine: before the sun rises, / quickly construct a temple of Śiva here, / by doing which I shall have achieved my goal in this world and the next!’”
