- Of body fair as camphor, crystal, and moon, served by Katyayani.
- गङ्गातुङ्गतरङ्गरञ्जितजटाभारं कृपासागरं
- Whose matted locks are touched by Ganga's lofty waves, an ocean of mercy.

Meditation on the Lord at Kailasa fixes the mind on the deathless Self that appears as the conqueror of death. When the inner image is steady, the fear of mortality loosens its hold on consciousness.
