(You are) he, the Siddha who has been pierced (by the power of the Command) and, made of universal bliss, is accompanied by Yogeśvarī. He is Śaṃkara’s lord; supreme, he has five faces, three eyes, holds a spear [i.e., śū] and, adorned with matted hair and crown, (his) divine body is covered with ashes.
