Word breakdown
- स्वसेवासमायातदेवासुरेन्द्रा

- नमन्मौलिमन्दारमालाभिषिक्तम्
- bow their heads, anointed with mandara-garlands;
- नमस्यामि शम्भो पदाम्भोरुहं ते
- I bow to your lotus feet, Shambhu,
- भवाम्भोधिपोतं भवानीविभाव्यम्

Gods and demons who reach Shiva's service gain the fruit of all their penance. Surrender at the Lord's feet is the vessel that carries the soul across the ocean of samsara.
