Rudra - The Ancient One lyrics
rate meOm Triyambakam Yajamahe <br />
Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam <br />
Urvarukamiva Bandhanat <br />
Mrtyormuksheeya Mamrtat <br />
<br />
Terrifying and yet benevolent <br />
Where the opposites dwell in harmony <br />
O Mahadeva, Praise to thee <br />
He is the eye of the storm <br />
And the calm after the same storm <br />
The Primal Cause, the Effulgent One <br />
Om Namah Shivaya Shivaya Namah <br />
I bow to the Ancient One,O Rudra <br />
Bow to the Ancient One, O Consort of Durga <br />
<br />
The King of the Holy Mountains <br />
Who dwells beyond the three gunas <br />
He is the three-eyed one <br />
With the ash-besmeared body <br />
The one with the matted locks <br />
Who slays the demons <br />
<br />
I bow before this wielder of the trident <br />
Who bears the Holy River in his matted locks <br />
Can't you see the serpent slithering around his neck <br />
O Mahayogi <br />
O Conqueror of Death <br />
The one who walks the cremation grounds <br />
garlanded with human skulls <br />
O Hara, My obeisance to you <br />
<br />
Om Namah Shivaya Shivaya Namah <br />
I bow to the Ancient One <br />
O Lord of the three worlds <br />
Bow to the Ancient One <br />
O Consort of Shakti <br />
<br />
The King of the Holy Mountains <br />
Who dwells beyond the three gunas <br />
Who is the Maha-Guru <br />
Ruler of the Universe <br />
Most ancient of the ancients <br />
Bow to that primeval one
