Those who turn from Hari and Hara and have no love for dharma never reach Kailasa, even in a dream. On that mountain stands a vast banyan, fresh and lovely in every season; the Shruti calls it Shiva's resting tree. Once the Lord goes there, delighted by the tree, spreads a tiger skin with his own hands and sits at ease. His body is fair as jasmine, the moon and the conch; his arms are long and he wears a sage's bark cloth. The light of his toenails clears the darkness in devotees' hearts. Snakes and ash adorn him, his face outshines the autumn moon, Ganga flows from his matted crown, his throat is blue and the young moon graces his brow.
हरि-हर-विमुख धरम रति नाहीँ । ते नर तहँ सपनेहुँ नहिँ जाहीँ ॥
तेहि गिरि पर बट बिटप विसाला । नित नूतन सुन्दर सब काला ॥
hari-hara-vimukha dharama rati nāhīm̐ | te nara taham̐ sapanehum̐ nahim̐ jāhīm̐ ||
tehi giri para baṭa biṭapa visālā | nita nūtana sundara saba kālā ||
त्रिबिध समीर सुसीतलि छाया । सिव-बिस्राम बिटप स्रुति गाया ॥
एक बार तेहि तर प्रभु गयऊ । तरु बिलोकि उर अति सुख भयऊ ॥
tribidha samīra susītali chāyā | siva-bisrāma biṭapa sruti gāyā ||
eka bāra tehi tara prabhu gayaū | taru biloki ura ati sukha bhayaū ||
निज कर डासि नाग-रिपु-छाला । बैठे सहजहिँ सम्भु कृपाला ॥
कुन्द-इन्दु-दर गौर सरीरा । भुज-प्रलम्ब परिधन-मुनि-चीरा ॥
nija kara ḍāsi nāga-ripu-chālā | baiṭhe sahajahim̐ sambhu kṛpālā ||
kunda-indu-dara gaura sarīrā | bhuja-pralamba paridhana-muni-cīrā ||
तरुन-अरुन-अम्बुज सम चरना । नख-दुति भगत-हृदय-तम-हरना ॥
भुजग-भूति-भूषन त्रिपुरारी । आनन सरद-चन्द-छवि हारी ॥
taruna-aruna-ambuja sama caranā | nakha-duti bhagata-hṛdaya-tama-haranā ||
bhujaga-bhūti-bhūṣana tripurārī | ānana sarada-canda-chavi hārī ||
जटा-मुकुट-सुरसरित सिर, लोचन नलिन बिसाल ।
नीलकंठ लावन्यनिधि, सोह बाल-बिधु-भाल ॥
jaṭā-mukuṭa-surasarita sira, locana nalina bisāla |
nīlakaṃṭha lāvanyanidhi, soha bāla-bidhu-bhāla ||
