ततः करतलीकृत्य व्यापि हालाहलं विषम् ।

अभक्षयन्महादेवः कृपया भूतभावनः ॥
 

Then, taking the spreading Halahala

poison on his palm, the great God Siva,

the gratifier of beings, swallowed it, in

his compassion.
 

 
तस्यापि दर्शयामास स्ववीर्यं जलकल्मषः ।

यच्चकार गले नीलं तच्च साधोर्विभूषणम् ॥

On God Siva also, that stain of waters,

the poison, displayed its powers; for it

stained His throat dark; but to that

benefactor, the stain was an ornament.
 

 
तप्यन्ते लोकतापेन साधवः प्रायशो जनाः ॥
 

Generally, good men suffer themselves

as a result of the suffering of the world.
 

 
पीते गरे वृषाङ्केण प्रीतास्तेऽमरदानवाः ।

ममन्थुस्तरसा सिन्धुं हविर्धानी ततोऽभवत् ॥
 

When the poison had been drunk by

Siva, the gods and the demons were

satisfied and they churned the ocean

forcibly ; there arose then the cow

Kamadhenu.
