नमः शिवाभ्यां जगदीश्वराभ्याम् जगत्पतिभ्यां जयविग्रहाभ्याम् जम्भारिमुख्यैरभिवन्दिताभ्याम् नमो नमः शङ्करपार्वतीभ्याम् ॥४॥

Word breakdown

नमः शिवाभ्यां जगदीश्वराभ्याम्
Salutations to the two Shivas, lords of the world,
जगत्पतिभ्यां जयविग्रहाभ्याम्
lords of the universe, forms of victory,
जम्भारिमुख्यैरभिवन्दिताभ्याम्
who are saluted by Jambhari and the foremost,
नमो नमः शङ्करपार्वतीभ्याम्
again and again salutations to Shankara and Parvati.

Lords of the worlds and victorious forms saluted even by great asuras show sovereignty that conquers without division; victory over cosmic powers images the Self's triumph over the mind's claim to separate lordship.
