Out of ardent desire to see which celestial women attain through the mind the position of absorption into Girisa though (it be) difficult to obtain by penance. (Absorption into Siva by the mind (by imagination)."

Oh, daughter of ice mountain,Even the creator who leads , An array of great poets,Fails to describe your sublime beauty.

The heavenly maidens pretty, With a wish to see your pristine loveliness,Try to see you through the eyes your Lord , the great Shiva,And do penance to him and reach him through their mind.
