If my life is fruitful, it is due to you divine God,
If my intelligence is fruitful , it is due to my depending on your feet.

2,Krutharthoham, krutharthoham , Krutharthoham, Maheswara,

I am thankful to you, indebted to you , grateful to you, Oh great God,
As this is due to seeing your lotus like feet, Oh god who loves his devotees.

Devotion to Shiva, devotion to Shiva, Devotion to shiva at every moment,
It always will happen, always will happen , always will happen without any doubt.

5.Vayan-m dhanyaa, vayam dhanyaa, vayam dhanyaa Jagat thraye,
Aadhi devo , mahadevo yadasmath kula deivatham.

I am blessed, I am blessed, I am blessed in all the three worlds,
If the primeval God , the cgreat God Shiva is the deity of my clan.

6.Hara Shambho Maha deva, Viswesa amaro vathsala,

Oh Hara, Oh shambhu, Oh great God , Oh lord of universe , Oh God who likes devas,
Oh shiva, Oh sankara , Oh souls of all, Oh blue necked one, I salute you.
