Translation

“The Lord [Shiva], surrounded by hosts of beings — hundreds of thousands — the husband of Uma, Pashupati, the trident-bearer, who struck out the eye of Bhaga, Tryambaka, O tiger among kings, and the untiring Goddess [Uma], [surrounded] by dwarfish, misshapen, hunchbacked [attendants], blood-eyed, swift as thought, feeding on flesh, fat, and marrow, terrible to hear and to see, bearing various dreadful weapons, swift as whirlwinds — [Shiva,] surrounded by them, always abides with his friend, the Giver of riches, O king.”
