- त्रयाणां देवानां त्रिगुणजनितानां तव शिवे
- O Shiva, worship of the three gods born of the three gunas
- भवेत्पूजा पूजा तव चरणयोर्या विरचिता ।
- is worship of Your feet alone
- तथा हि त्वत्पादोद्वहनमणिपीठस्य निकटे
- for near the jewelled pedestal of Your foot-throne
- स्थिता ह्येते शश्वन्मुकुलितकरोत्तंसमकुटाः ॥२५॥
- these three stand always with folded hands and bowed crowns
Worship of the trimurti is ultimately worship of the Goddess's feet. All deities and gunas resolve in the one source; the trimurti bowing at Her throne signifies that every form of divinity rests in Shakti, the power of the Self.
