Word breakdown
- नमः शिवाभ्यां कलिनाशनाभ्याम्
- Salutations to the two Shivas who destroy the poison of Kali,
- कङ्कालकल्याणवपुर्धराभ्याम्
- who bear the auspicious form of Kala the destroyer,
- कैलासशैलस्थितदेवताभ्याम्
- who are the deities dwelling on Mount Kailasa,
- नमो नमः शङ्करपार्वतीभ्याम्
- again and again salutations to Shankara and Parvati.
Destroyers of Kali's taint and bearers of Time's auspicious form on Kailasa show death itself transfigured by the divine; the age's poison dissolves where the mind worships the Lord whose very form makes dissolution holy.
