स्वदेहोद्भूताभिर्घृणिभिरणिमाद्याभिरभितो निषेव्ये नित्ये त्वामहमिति सदा भावयति यः । किमाश्चर्यं तस्य त्रिनयनसमृद्धिं तृणयतो महासंवर्ताग्निर्विरचयति नीराजनविधिम् ॥३०॥

Word breakdown
- स्वदेहोद्भूताभिर्घृणिभिरणिमाद्याभिरभितो
- whoever contemplates You always as 'I am You' with the eight siddhis born from Your body
- निषेव्ये नित्ये त्वामहमिति सदा भावयति यः ।
- ever contemplating You, the eternal one, as 'I am You'
- किमाश्चर्यं तस्य त्रिनयनसमृद्धिं तृणयतो
- what wonder that he treats the three-eyed one's wealth as a blade of grass
- महासंवर्ताग्निर्विरचयति नीराजनविधिम् ॥३०॥
- the great world-dissolving fire performs for him the arati rite
Identity with the Goddess through the eight powers makes even Shiva's glory seem slight. The sage for whom the cosmic fire itself performs worship has recognized the Self as the source of all miraculous attainment.
