TRANSLATION:
1) I bow before that Lingam, which is the eternal Shiva, which is worshipped by Brahma, Vishnu and other Devas, which is pure and resplendent and which destroys sorrows of birth.
2) I bow before that Lingam, which is the eternal Shiva, which is worshipped by great sages and Devas, which destroyed the God of lust, which showers mercy, and which destroyed the pride of Ravana.
3) I bow before that Lingam, which is the eternal Shiva, which is anointed by perfumes, which leads to growth of wisdom, and which is worshipped by sages, Devas and asuras.
4) I bow before that Lingam, which is the eternal Shiva, which is ornamented by gold and great jewels, which shines with the snake being with it, and which destroyed the yagna of Daksha.
5) I bow before that Lingam, which is the eternal Shiva, which is adorned by sandal paste and saffron, which wears the garland of lotus flowers, and which can destroy accumulated sins.
6) I bow before that Lingam, which is the eternal Shiva, which is served by Gods and other beings, which is the doorway for devotion and good thought, and which shines like billions of suns.
7) I bow before that Lingam, which is the eternal Shiva, which is surrounded by eight petals, which is the prime reason of all riches, and which destroys eight types of poverty.
8) I bow before that Lingam, which is the eternal Shiva, which is worshipped by the teacher of Gods, which is worshipped by the best of Gods, which is always worshipped by the flowers, from the garden of Gods, which is the eternal abode, and which is the ultimate truth.
Anyone who chants the holy octet of the Lingam, in the holy presence of Lord Shiva, would in the end reach the world of Shiva, and keep Him company
