Devas said: They call you Mahādeva, the omniscient, one without ailment, one who cannot be specifically pointed out, one having a universal form, one with deformed eyes, Sadāśiva without ailment, one who makes others in the world function, one who makes Prakṛti work, the great-grandfather, the lord who bestows boons, the self-born deity, the abode of all and the lord of twenty-six principles. You resemble ten million suns in refulgence; you are similar to ten million moons in brightness, you are on a par with ten million fires that blaze at the time of dissolution and you have no other lord to control you.
