Word breakdown
- इलापुरे रम्यविशालकेऽस्मिन् समुल्लसन्तं च जगद्वरेण्यम्
- In this Ilapura, lovely and vast, shining forth, honoured by the world.
- वन्दे महोदारतरस्वभावं घृष्णेश्वराख्यं शरणम् प्रपद्ये
- I salute the most abundantly gracious nature, named Grishneshwara; I take refuge.
Grishneshwar, abundantly gracious, completes the circuit of twelve lingas. Each shrine reveals the same Shiva; the pilgrimage ends in the recognition that the Lord sought everywhere is one's own Self.
