Word breakdown
- प्रदीप्तरत्नोज्ज्वलकुण्डलायै स्फुरन्महापन्नगभूषणाय
- To her with earrings blazing with lit jewels, to him adorned with the great quivering serpent,
- शिवान्वितायै च शिवान्विताय नमः शिवायै च नमः शिवाय
- to her united with Shiva and to him united with Shiva, salutations to Shiva, salutations to Shiva.
Jeweled ear and serpent crest crown one being in whom Shiva is united with Shiva; the final salutation names no duality left to bridge, for the auspicious is wholly present as the one Self knowing itself in every ornament of form.
