By your penetration you protect all. You alone are the knower of music, the great lord and knower of the Vedas. You are all-in-all, the creator, the lord of the gods and the goal of the good. You are the joy of Pārvatī, the son of Śiva. You are the perfect wisdom, the self-ruler (), the meditator and the object of meditation. You are the father of the fathers and the source of origin of good souls. [...]�.
