Lord Shiva, the Husband of Goddess Parvati

May I constantly love the three-eyed Shiva who sacrificed the very powerful Kamdev into the blazing fire raging on the vast surface of His forehead; who is the Lord of Parvati,the daughter of the king of mountains, and has the expertise of drawing accurately detailed pictures.

May Lord Shiva Make us Prosper

May Lord Shiva who bears the burden of this entire world and is endowed with the artistic crescent moon,who is adorned with the hide of an elephant, and is carrying the Ganges, the river of the gods, whose neck is darker than the pitch dark midnight of amavasya due to the newly gathered clouds, make us prosper in every possible way.

May Lord Shiva Bring About Our Well-Being

May Lord Siva who has the moon (related to the chakor, a type of partridge supposed to live on moonbeams) posited on His head, whose matted hair is tied by coils of Vasuki, the king of serpants, the back of whose feet are covered by grains of pollen adorning the heads of the thousand-eyed Indra and other gods, bring about our well-being till eternity.

May Lord Shankar Enrich us With Siddhis

May Lord Shankar who is also worshipped by Indra, the king of the gods,who shattered the arrogance of Kamdev by sparks of fire from His wide blazing forehead, the one who is endowed with rays of immortality and is radiant with the crescent moon, whose matted locks are bedecked with the Ganges and who is the fiery protector of hell, enrich us with siddhis for all times to come.

3rd and 4th Verses of Shri Shiv Tandava Stotram

Verse 3

Dharadharendra nandini vilas bandhu bandhur -

Sphraddigant santati pramidman manse |

Kripakatakchha dhorani Niruddha - durharapadi

Kwachiddigambare manovinodmetu vastuni ||3||

Lord Shiva is Shashidar

The one who is ecstatic on seeing the flirtatious sidelong glance of Shri Parvati, the daughter of Himalaya, king of the mountains, the one who displays the emotions of a friend and is digambar  or all pervasive, who dispels all the adversities of His devotees by just a compassionate glance. May my mind find happiness in such a Bhootbhavan (an epithet of Shiva, the creator of spirits), Lord Shashidhar (a title of Shiva, wearing the moon)

Verse 4

Jatabhujanga pingalasphuratphanamani prabha -

Kadamba kumkumadrava pralipta digvla dhoomukhe |

Madandhasindhurasphuratva guttariya mdure

Mano Vinodmadbhutam vibhartu bhootabhatari ||4||

Lord Shiva is Bhupati

May my mind attain great delight in Mahesh who is Bhupati or Lord of the earth. The fluid saffron of the yellow-hued glittering manis or pearls from the hoods of snakes dwelling in the matted locks of Lord Shankar, has coloured the feminine face of Shivji's directions and his body looks supremely majestic on wearing the shining garment made of the skin of an intoxicated elephant.
