Word breakdown
- नमः शिवाभ्यां परमौषधाभ्याम्
- Salutations to the two Shivas who are the supreme medicine,
- पञ्चाक्षरी पञ्जररञ्जिताभ्याम्
- who delight the cage of the five-syllable mantra,
- प्रपञ्चसृष्टिस्थिति संहृताभ्याम्
- who are creation, sustenance, and dissolution of the universe,
- नमो नमः शङ्करपार्वतीभ्याम्
- again and again salutations to Shankara and Parvati.
Supreme medicine and lords of creation, preservation, and destruction, caged yet radiant in the five syllables, teach that the mantra's sound holds the whole cosmic cycle; the pair is the living Om in whom the universe arises and returns.
