रत्नैः कल्पितमासनं हिमजलैः स्नानं च दिव्याम्बरं नानारत्नविभूषितं मृगमदामोदाङ्कितं चन्दनम्।
जातीचम्पकबिल्वपत्ररचितं पुष्पं च धूपं तथा दीपं देव दयानिधे पशुपते हृत्कल्पितं गृह्यताम्॥

Pashupati, store of mercy — a throne set with jewels, a bath of cool water, heavenly cloth bright with many gems, sandal touched with musk, an offering of jasmine and champak and bel leaf, incense and the diya: take all of this, made in the heart.

सौवर्णे नवरत्नखण्डरचिते पात्रे घृतं पायसं भक्ष्यं पञ्चविधं पयोदधियुतं रम्भाफलं पानकम्।
शाकानामयुतं जलं रुचिकरं कर्पूरखण्डोज्ज्वलं ताम्बूलं मनसा मया विरचितं भक्त्या प्रभो स्वीकुरु॥

In a gold dish inlaid with new jewels: kheer rich with ghee, five kinds of food with milk and curd, plantain, sherbet, many greens, sweet water made clear and scented with camphar, and paan — all of it I have made in the mind and offer with love. Shiv ji, accept it.

छत्रं चामरयोर्युगं व्यजनकं चादर्शकं निर्मलं वीणाभेरिमृदङ्गकाहलकला गीतं च नृत्यं तथा।
साष्टाङ्गं प्रणतिः स्तुतिर्बहुविधा ह्येतत्समस्तं मया सङ्कल्पेन समर्पितं तव विभो पूजां गृहाण प्रभो॥

A parasol, two chamaras, a fan, a clear mirror; the vina, the bheri, the mridanga and the kahala, song and dance; the full prostration and praise of many kinds — all of this I offer you by sankalp. Shiv ji, accept this puja.

आत्मा त्वं गिरिजा मतिः सहचराः प्राणाः शरीरं गृहं पूजा ते विषयोपभोगरचना निद्रा समाधिस्थितिः।
सञ्चारः पदयोः प्रदक्षिणविधिः स्तोत्राणि सर्वा गिरो यद्यत्कर्म करोमि तत्तदखिलं शम्भो तवाराधनम्॥

Shambhu — you are my self, my understanding is Girija, my breaths your companions, my body your house; every enjoyment of sense is your puja, sleep is samadhi, my walking is the circling of you, and all my words are your stotras. Whatever act I do, the whole of it is your worship.

करचरणकृतं वाक्कायजं कर्मजं वा श्रवणनयनजं वा मानसं वापराधम्।
विहितमविहितं वा सर्वमेतत्क्षमस्व जय जय करुणाब्धे श्रीमहादेव शम्भो॥

Whatever wrong I have done by hand or foot, by speech or body, by act, by ear or eye or mind; whether laid down or not laid down — forgive it all. Victory, victory, ocean of mercy, Mahadev Shambhu.
