ज्वालामाली महाबाहो योगी भक्तजनप्रियः। एष धारयते लोकानेष वै सृजते प्रभुः॥ एष संहरते चैव कालो भूत्वा महाबलः। एष यज्ञश्च याज्यश्च चक्रायुधधरो हरिः॥ सर्वदेवमयश्चैव सर्वभूतमयस्तथा। सर्वलोकमयश्चैव सर्वज्ञानमयस्तथा॥

English Meaning

O you having long arms, he is encircled by flames, a great devotee and fond devotees, this lord preserve the universe and has created it. And he, gifted with great strength, brought about destruction in the form of Time; and this Hari, with a discus in his hand, is sacrifice and is being worshipped in sacrifices. He is at one with all gods, all beings, all worlds and all knowledge.
