Full Translation
A revered guru-vandana (verse in praise of the Guru) that bows to Shiva as the teacher: "I bow to Shiva, the Guru — the very embodiment of being, consciousness, and bliss (sat-chit-ananda); who is beyond the material world, perfectly peaceful, dependent on nothing, and radiant with his own light."
