Rudra saṁhitā, Satīkhaṇḍa 15—The Devas' Prayer to Śiva
Channel: Consciousness Research Centre
Date: 03/12/2022

The devas said: “Obeisance to Thee, O Lord, from whom the mobile and immobile beings have originated. Obeisance to the great Puruṣa, Maheśa, the supreme Īśan and the great Ātman. Obeisance to the primordial seed of everyone, the Cidrūpa (one possessed of the form of consciousness), the Puruṣa beyond Prakṛti. Obeisance to Thee who createst this world, by whom this is illuminated, from whom this originated, by whom this is sustained, to whom this belongs, and by whom everything is kept under control. “We bow to that Self-born deity who is beyond this and everything that is great, who is the undepraved great Lord, who sees these within Himself. We have sought refuge at His feet who is the supreme Brahman, who is the soul of everyone, who is the greatest witness with unbarred vision, and who assumes various forms. Obeisance to Him whose region is not known by devas, sages or siddhas. How then can other creatures realise it or express it? He is our goal supreme, seeking to see whose region great saints free from attachment perform unmutilated vows of Release. Thou hast no change like death, birth etc. that yields misery, yet by means of māyā Thou assumest all these. Obeisance to Thee who art the great Īśan and the performer of miracles. Obeisance to Brahman, the great soul who is far removed from words. Obeisance to the formless Being of immense form, the great, of unlimited power, the Lord of the three worlds, the witness of all and all-pervasive. Obeisance to the light of Ātman, richly endowed with the happiness of liberation, of the form of knowledge. Obeisance to Thee, the all-pervasive Lord.
