Study note

Word breakdown

बहुविधपरितोषबाष्पपूर
with abundant joy-tear-flood
स्फुटपुलकाङ्कितचारुभोगभूमिम्
marked with clear horripilation, charming enjoyment-ground
चिरपदफलकाङ्क्षिसेव्यमानां
served by those longing for long-desired foot-fruit
परमसदाशिवभावनां प्रपद्ये
I approach supreme Sadashiva contemplation

Approaching Sadashiva contemplation with tears and horripilation marks true worship. Longing for foot-fruit is fulfilled in supreme Shiva-awareness; the Self is approached through embodied devotion.
