हन्तुः पुरामधिगलं परिपीयमानः क्रूरः कथं न भविता गरलस्य वेगः । नाश्वासनाय यदि मातरिदं तवार्धं देहस्य शश्वदमृताप्लुतशीतलस्य ॥६॥

Word breakdown
- हन्तुः पुरामधिगलं परिपीयमानः
- Though the slayer of Tripura drank poison at the throat.
- क्रूरः कथं न भविता गरलस्य वेगः ।
- How would the cruel force of poison not take effect?
- नाश्वासनाय यदि मातरिदं तवार्धं
- Yet if this were not for comfort, O Mother, your half.
- देहस्य शश्वदमृताप्लुतशीतलस्य ॥६॥
- Of a body ever cool, steeped in nectar.
Shiva drank poison yet remained cool through the Mother's nectar-half. The union of Shiva and Shakti shows that consciousness and bliss together neutralize the world's burning poison.
