Parameshvara I shall surrender at your lotus feet, kindly protects me, Oh! Deva, you are my Mother, you are my Father, you are my closest association, and you are my deasrest companion, Oh! Deva, you symbolize wealth and prosperity, Oh! Devadeva/Lord of Lords, you symbolizes living and non-living things as well,  I shall repeatedly prostrate before Umanatha/Lord of Goddess Uma, who is  wielded in powerful Thrishoola, he is  Lord of Goddess Uma, he is the provider of Dharma/righteousness, Arththa/wealth, Kama/desire, and Moksha/liberation from repeated births, he eradicates all the severe sins of the worshiper, I shall repeatedly prostrate before Parvathinatha who is the Lord of Goddess Sri Parvathi, Oh!
