- अम्भोजाभ्यां च रम्भारथचरणलताद्वन्द्वकुम्भीन्द्रकुम्भै
- With lotuses, with the pair of elephant-head cups from the lotus-feet of Rambha's chariot,
- र्बिम्बेनेन्दोश्च कम्बोरुपरि विलसता विद्रुमेणोत्पलाभ्याम्
- with coral lotuses shining on the round shoulder like the moon's disc,
- अम्भोदेनापि सम्पादितमुपजनिताडम्बरं शम्बरारेः
- with a cloud too procuring the pomp born for Shamba's foe,
- शम्भोस्सम्भोगयोग्यं किमपि धनमिदं सम्भवेत्सम्पदे नः
- may this wealth, fit for Shambhu's enjoyment, somehow become our fortune.
The ornaments of moon, lotus, and cloud adorning Shiva are the riches of nature offered to the Lord of joy. True fortune is not possession but the recognition that all splendor is already the Lord's, and the Self is that fullness.
